Explore Play Wales
Entries are open for this year’s Children & Young People Now Awards, which includes a category for children’s play.
Any organisations or individuals who are based in the UK and whose work is UK based, can enter the awards.
The Play Award will be presented to the initiative that has done the most to offer children and young people the opportunities to play freely, enjoy childhood and contribute to their social, emotional and physical development.
The judges will look for work that has enabled children to follow their own ideas and interest, in their own way.
Other categories include:
- The Early Years Award
- Children and Young People’s Champion
- The Children and Young People’s Charity Award.
The Awards offer an opportunity to raise the profile of projects and initiatives to funders and the general public. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner and awards ceremony in London on 20 November 2025.
Closing date for entries: 12 June 2025.
