NOMINATIONS for community-minded youngsters who have made a difference in their community are being sought by Reigate Rotary Club.
Those vying for a Rotary Young Citizen Award should be aged under 18 and can be nominated as an individual or as a group.
"We need readers to nominate young people who they believe have been outstanding young citizens," said Rotarian Phil Capstick.
"For example, one of last year's winners was a 17-year-old young lady who, a few years before, had fallen from a tree and broken her back.
"She was left paralysed from the waist down.
"She took up wheelchair tennis and, with great perseverance, she is now the world number one champion in this sport.
"She visits schools to talk about disability sport.
"She has helped Stoke Mandeville patients with wheelchair skills and introduced injured servicemen at Hedley Court to sport."
Winners receive £500 cash and a trophy presented at the Rotary National Conference.
