Launch of the Young Achievers Awards in the Liberty Stadium, Swansea

A host of local celebrities gathered today at the Liberty Stadium, Swansea to launch nominations for the 2008 Swansea Bay Young Achiever Awards, sponsored by gas distribution company Wales & West Utilities.

Attending the event to kick off proceedings were Osprey Players Marty Holah and Hale Tploe, and Badger & Emma from 96.4FM The Wave’s Breakfast Show.

The Awards present a unique opportunity to celebrate and reward the achievements of young people and recognise the contribution they make to their communities through business, training, education and voluntary work.

Categories include Business, World of Work, Community, Young Enterprise Company and new for 2008, The Food Champion Award.

Short listed finalists from these categories will attend a celebration evening to receive their awards and to find out who has won the overall title of “Swansea Bay Young Achiever of the Year 2008”.

The awards evening will be hosted by Badger & Emma from 96.4FM The Wave, on Friday 13th June 2008 at the Margam Orangery, Port Talbot.
