All of these talented people have won the Best of South Tyneside Young Performer of the Year crown in recent years and here’s a reminder of them all.
But the question is, who will follow in their footsteps? The search is on for contenders in the category as well as other sections such as Local Hero, Fundraiser of the Year, Sporting Achievement, Community Champion, Community Group, Child of Achievement, Green Champion and Child of Courage.
Once we pass the competition deadline, a panel of judges will meet to draw up the shortlist, before the winners are decided at an awards ceremony on December 15.
For now, though, get those nominations in. Send them by visiting https://www.bestofsouthtyneside.co.uk
