Youth Awards Winners 2020
With the uncertainty of COVID-19, Youth Council decided to think outside the box and take the Youth awards to the community.
On the 7 September they set off, starting in Taihape, then to Marton, Bulls and Feilding, presenting awards and prizes, celebrating with our winners and runners up for each award. What a day! We were truly privileged to receive such a great number of high calibre applications, highlighting the wonderful achievements of the amazing youth we have in our district, even amidst a global crisis! Take that COVID!
We would especially like to thank our awesome sponsors – without whom, none of this would be possible! Take a look at our sponsors, winners and runners up below.
