Children are the most precious gift but has a child you know proved courageous by helping others or fighting illness? Please tell us why he or she should win the award.

This award honours those children who have shown courage above their years. They might have helped others overcome problems or shown bravery in battling illness or adversity.

The award continually highlights some truly exceptional youngsters in Sussex over the years and we want to find those who once again fit the bill and deserve to be praised.

All those nominated for this award will appear below as they are received so make sure to get your nominations in and keep visiting the site for updates
