2025 RISE Youth Excellence Award Nomination Form Survey

The Youth Excellence Award recognizes outstanding youth (aged 29 and under) living in Nova Scotia who are making a difference through leadership, creativity, and/or community involvement. Whether they excel in academics, sports, the arts, entrepreneurship, volunteerism, or other impactful areas, we want to shine a light on their achievements.

We don’t have the opportunity to see them all - so we need your help to identify them. Please help RISE in thanking these selfless individuals by nominating them. The youth chosen to receive this award will also receive $250 and a professional photo shoot to recognize their achievement.
