The deadline for the completed full entry forms will be 1st October 2015, although we are encouraging early nominations, and judging will be completed by 10th October 2015. The shortlisted candidates will be invited to receive their award at the Celebration Event we hold in Global Entrepreneurship Week which will be held at the Guildhall on Friday 20th November.

Councillor Rosie Nicola, Portfolio Holder for Learning and Skills, said:

"I look forward to welcoming the nominations for these awards from across the city as we look to develop Hull's entrepreneurial culture amongst our young people.

"The Council in partnership with the Youth Enterprise Bank is committed to supporting our enterprising young people and we are more than aware that the young people of this city are our future, and we want them to move forward in life equipped with the right skills to build successful careers."

Nick Sangwin, MD of the Sangwin Group, added:

"It was a great honour last year to be announced as the recipient of the Lee Creamer Youth Enterprise Leadership Award and I am pleased that this year the awards will go ahead thanks to the support of sponsors.

"There is no doubt that Hull as a city has real commitment through the Youth Enterprise Partnership to develop the enterprising skills of young people. With the right support and encouragement Hull's young people are truly enterprising, and whilst not all will pursue an entrepreneurial career in the future, the majority of them will most certainly use their skills to help impact their outlook on life and in the workplace."

Last year Katie Norman of Lab Rascals was honoured with The Sheila Waudby Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, she said:

"For two years my science party and science workshop business has had support from the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership and its many partners. I am very proud to be associated with them, especially during Global Entrepreneurship Week and as a member of the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank management committee.

"I was really pleased to accept the title of Young Entrepreneur Year 2014 from the inspirational entrepreneur Claire Young and Karl Turner MP and I look forward to helping identify the winner this year to represent Hull."
