Good Morning Britain's Young Hero Award 2015
Nominations are now open for the Good Morning Britain Young Hero Award, in conjunction with the charity WellChild, of which Prince Harry is the Patron.
We are looking to find that special inspirational young person who goes beyond what is expected of them for our award.
Not only will this year's winner attend the award ceremony with a host of famous faces likely to include Prince Harry, they will also get an exclusive VIP pass to the Isle of Wight Festival to join Pharrell Williams on stage as he performs mega-hit Happy. The prize also includes travel by helicopter to and from the island.
