THE North Wales Pioneer's Child of the Year award is back.

Nominations are now open for Child of the Year award which looks to honour a child who has shown remarkable bravery, battled with adversity or made a positive contribution in their community.

This very special competition seeks to recognise, highlight and reward those young unsung heroes out there in our community.

The winner will enjoy a fun-packed day full of gifts and treats, courtesy of the Pioneer’s generous advertisers.

Down your street, in your school, around the corner – or even in your own living room – there could be a young person who could become the Pioneer Child of the Year.

Do you know of a child who has overcome the odds in some way, or who has done something to make life better for those around him or her?

If so, this is your chance to ensure they are rewarded for their efforts.

The competition will be featured in the print edition of the Pioneer from next month but we are currently taking your nominations.

Send your nominations to gill.cummings@localiq.co.uk.
