These awards recognise the achievements of the most enterprising youths in Plymouth. Most of the 12 awards are sponsored by organisations who have got behind The Herald's campaign to find the most deserving young people in the city and shout about their worthy achievements.

The two awards being sponsored by UCP Marjon this year are:

The Herald Young Hero Award. This will go to an exceptional young person under the age of 18 who has done something which marks them out as a hero.  They could be an ordinary person who has committed an act of bravery or extreme generosity – or they may be someone who has used their exceptional talent or achievement to bring pride to the whole of Plymouth. This award is being sponsored by UCP Marjon.

Make Your Mark Challenge Award. Make Your Mark Challenge is the largest one-day national enterprise challenge that takes place on the Monday of Enterprise Week, later this year. This award is sponsored by the I-Space facility at UCP Marjon.
