Do you know an outstanding young person in Donegal?
Junior Chamber International (JCI) Donegal are looking for nominations for outstanding young people between 18-40.
These nominations are being sought to identify young people in the community, who have done something outstanding. These top young people will be invited to an awards ceremony held in Donegal. Here the overall winner will be selected as Donegal’s ‘Outstanding Young Person of the Year’
These awards are to identity young dynamic people in the Donegal community. After the local awards the Donegal winner may go on to be recognised nationally and possibly internationally for their achievements.
Every year, Junior Chamber International selects 10 outstanding young people under 40 to be recognised for living the JCI Mission in extraordinary ways.
JCI feel, that highlighting the accomplishments of these young active citizens in a variety of fields will inspire others to be better and realise their full potential as active citizens.
There are several categories under which young people can be nominated. Each nominee must be entered in one, and only one, of the ten categories below.
Business, economic, and/or entrepreneurial accomplishment
Political, legal, and/or governmental affairs
Academic leadership and/or accomplishment
Cultural achievement
Moral and/or environmental leadership
Contribution to children, world peace, and/or human rights

Emma Boylan JCI President commented “This is a fantastic opportunity for Donegal to show the wealth of young people that we have in the County, not only locally, but hopefully to a national and international audience. From the set-up of JCI in Donegal, we have seen so many positive and inspiring young people. I have no doubt that we will have large variety of nominations for Donegal’s ‘Outstanding Young Person’ Awards”
The competition is free to enter. JCI Donegal would ask the community to take time to think about someone they feel has achieved something outstanding.
