NOMINATIONS have been arriving over the past week for the Pride of Somerset Youth Awards - an annual celebration of our county's incredible, inspirational young people.

The awards, in their eighth year, are run by Newsquest Somerset, publishers of the Somerset County Gazette, Bridgwater Mercury, Chard and Ilminster News and Burnham and Highbridge Weekly News, together with the Rotary Club of Taunton and BBC Somerset. 

If you know a young person who really deserves a pat on the back - then make sure you nominate them for a Youth Award before the deadline closes on February 5.
