The Northern Ireland Award Recipients will compete against others from 11 Prince’s Trust regional and country Awards for a place on the shortlist for the UK finals.

THe overall winners will be revealed at the Prince’s Trust & RBS Celebrate Success Awards ceremony which will be held in London in the spring of 2005.
