Nominations are now open for the highly anticipated CHILD OF WALES AWARDS, which take place at the Swansea Arena on 27th September. These are a real celebration and inspiration as the spotlight shines on the remarkable achievements and resilience of young individuals across Wales.
Following the overwhelming success of the previous years’ events, Child of Wales is once again poised to recognise the extraordinary accomplishments of children nationwide. Now in its third year, the Awards will be an emotional, inspirational, and unforgettable affair for all involved, attracting media personalities, celebrities, sports stars, and international entertainers.
The awards encompass 11 categories honouring personal courage, bravery, sporting and creative achievements, as well as the commendable efforts of children championing causes in their communities, protecting the environment, caring for others, and fundraising.
Individuals eligible for nomination include those facing illnesses, disabilities, bullying, discrimination, or who persevere through struggles to achieve their goals in sports or the arts. The awards seek to honour and celebrate these inspiring individuals who embody resilience, determination, and compassion. Nominations are free and open to children under 18 who are based in or born in Wales.
Visit HERE to view the categories and nominate a remarkable child. Nominations will remain open until 10th June, and judging will begin shortly after. A mixture of representatives from the award sponsors, celebrities, and independent advisors will form the panel that will have to make the difficult decision to pick a winner for each category.

Blanche Sainsbury, Founder of the Child of Wales Awards told us…..
“We are thrilled to open nominations for the Child of Wales Awards 2024. These awards shine a bright light on an amazingly brave group of children and young people who face hardships and challenges every day, yet never give up, never stop trying – inspiring those around them in the process.
We are overjoyed that this year’s event will take place in the wonderful Swansea Arena and can’t wait to announce some of the performers who will be joining us on the stage to honour those nominated. We also invite businesses to join us in honouring these remarkable young people by becoming sponsors or partners of the Child of Wales Awards 2024. Together, we can acknowledge the real stars of Wales – these amazing and inspiring children, so please get in touch if you would like to get involved.”
