Seen and Heard 2008

Wednesday 30 April 08

We're looking for inspiring young people from around the world, who've made a real difference to their own lives and those of others by getting their voices heard about the issues that matter to them.

Whether it was lobbying your council to improve the local park, setting up an action group to combat bullying, or even producing your own film, if you (or someone you know) has used speaking and listening skills to achieve something positive, we want to hear about it!

The Awards...
BT, in partnership with the UK Youth Parliament, organise the Seen and Heard Awards as part of the Better World Campaign, which aims to provide young people with the skills and opportunities to effect real social change.

If you are successful, you will be invited to attend a Seen and Heard awards ceremony to meet other young people and hear about their projects. You'll also get the chance to tell your story through the 2008 Seen and Heard report - a publication which will be seen by young people, MPs and other decision makers around the world.

How to enter...
Entering the awards is easy. If you are young person, just tell us a little about what you have achieved by answering the questions on our entry form. You can also nominate a young person or group using the same downloadable form.

To nominate an adult or organisation that has helped you to be Seen and Heard, simply follow the instructions on the website.

Find out more about the awards and read stories from last year's winners by visiting the BT Better World website or by emailing us at seenandheard@bt.com.

The closing date for entries is 9th May 2008, so get those nominations in today...

We can't wait to hear your story!
