THE RED Carpet Youth Awards are on again and young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who work, live or study in Wodonga are eligible for nomination.

The aims of the awards are:

* To increase the positive perceptions of young people in the community;
* To encourage and motivate young people at all levels in their chosen field; and,
* To provide other young people with positive role models (by highlighting their achievements).
The seven categories for 2010 include:
* Rotary Club of Wodonga Group Helping Hand Award
* Wodonga Chamber of Commerce Community Service Award
* OzGreen Environmental Award
* ATEL Employment Services Apprenticeship/Traineeship Award
* RACV Wodonga Shop Challenge and Change Award (Previously Endurance/Persistence Award)
