Written by Midlothian View Reporter, Liam Eunson
There’s still time to nominate a young person for a Midlothian’s Young People Award (MYPA). This is an annual celebration of the incredible achievements of young people in the Midlothian community. These awards are organised by Midlothian Council in conjunction with the Lord-Lieutenant of Midlothian.
You can nominate anyone aged between 8–26 years old.
Award Categories are:
– Caring and Volunteering
– Local Community
– Sport and Physical Activity
– Arts and Culture
– Achievement in Learning
For more information and to nominate, please go to: https://www.midlothian.gov.uk/MYPA
A special awards ceremony for winners will be held on Tuesday 25 November 2025, at Rosslyn Chapel.
Councillor Ellen Scott, Midlothian cabinet member with responsibility for education, children and young people said:
“I encourage everyone to nominate the young people they know who live or work in Midlothian and who inspire us through their achievements and contributions. The Midlothian Young People’s Award is a vital way to recognise and celebrate the positive impact our youth have in our community—often quietly and without enough attention. This scheme not only shines a light on their efforts but also reminds us all how much we can be proud of the next generation here in Midlothian.”
The deadline for nominations has now been extended to Friday 24 October.
