Jamaicans will have another chance to submit nominations for the Prime Minister’s Youth Awards for Excellence PMYAE, following an extension of the deadline to Friday, October 8.
State Minister in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information Robert Morgan, said the decision to extend the deadline is as a result of concerns expressed by many young persons who were hoping to apply or nominate someone for the award and were encountering challenges in completing the application process.
The State Minister further noted that the new deadline would also open the nomination process to young persons who are awaiting their final grades and other documentation as well as those who are challenged with Internet connectivity.
Since its inception in 1998, these awards have been bestowed upon young Jamaican Nationals between 15 and 29 years old, living in Jamaica or the diaspora.
Nominees must excel in the selected category, contribute to Jamaica’s development, have attained national or international recognition in their area of specialty, and must be of upstanding character.
