The Prince’s Trust Local Reporting Award 2001 is to be launched during Local Newspaper Week in May.
The award recognises excellence in local reporting, with a focus on inspiring stories involving young people, written by 14 to 30-year-olds.
Entrants can be reporters in local newspapers or people from the wider community.
The aims of the award, run in association with the Newspaper Society, include a bid to encourage positive reporting about young people and their achievements.
And this year, to mark 25 years of the Prince’s Trust, stories can also be included on the theme of people who have worked with the charity since its creation.
The awards will be presented by the Prince of Wales at a ceremony at St James’s Palace and newspapers are invited to submit an inspiring story of no more than 800 words to The Prince’s Trust by June 1.
It is up to the newspapers how they generate their articles, perhaps through their own newsdesk or in a reader competition.
