Across 11 award categories, the WA Young Person of the Year and the Minister for Youth's Most Outstanding Youth Worker Award will be announced at a gala ceremony in Perth on 20 September 2024.
All category winners will receive a $1,000 prize, with the WA Young Person of the Year to receive $10,000 to go toward a youth-related initiative or activity across WA.
