zillo youth awards environmental champion

Environmental Champion

Do you know someone who is relentless in their passion for saving the planet? Does your best mate do litter picking sessions, help with the ‘school green council’ work at school, recycle things into jewellery, plant trees, or just following in the footsteps of David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg? If so get ready to nominate them for the ‘Environmental Champion’ Award.  

zillo youth awards community engagement

Community Engagement

Are you the young person in your street that delivers shopping to your elderly neighbours? Do you help out with your local ‘friends of the park’ group? What about supporting a scout troop or guides group to sell poppies every year or pack shopping in the supermarket. Maybe you volunteer in a charity shop every Saturday. Whichever way you or someone you know engages with your community it might just win you a Zillo Award so tell us all about it. Think about what to write in your nomination for the ‘Community Champion’ Award. 

zillo youth awards animal care

Animal Care

Tell us about your love of your guide dog, or how you always pet-sit for your neighbour’s chickens when they go on holiday. Are you a champion bunny handler, or have you raised money to save donkeys, dolphins, or pangolins? Do you volunteer at the animal shelter looking after hedgehogs, or walk your elderly neighbours’ dog?  Tell us anything that you or someone you know does that shows love and compassion for animals. By preparing your comments for the nomination they could be in with a chance of winning the ‘Animal Care’ Award. 

What do you need to do next?

We want as many people as possible to be nominated so get your thinking caps on! The aim of the awards is to highlight the amazing things young people do every day in Wirral.  Each nomination can mean a lot. Be kind and give us examples of why the person meets the category.

Even if you don’t get shortlisted for an award your nomination is important.  

Everybody counts. Everybody Matters.  

Nominations will open on Friday 31st March here on ZILLO.
