Posted on 23 January 2020
The Yorkshire Asian Young Achievers Awards (YAYAs) is the first scheme of its kind set up to recognise the efforts of young people aged 16-30, South Asian heritage born or living and working in Yorkshire.
Its special focus is on those socially-mobile young achievers who have overcome less advantage, or have broken through traditional barriers to progress.
Award categories include:
- Young achiever of the year
- Achievement in school or college
- Achievement in the not-for-profit sector
- Female achievement in traditionally-male work areas
- Achievement in overcoming life obstacles
- And more!
A shortlist of three people will be selected in each category and the winners will be announced at a gala awards dinner on Thursday 2 April 2020.
