Young people recognised for ‘outstanding cultural contribution’

Seven students have been recognised by the North American Manx Association.

The annual awards honour children and young people for their 'outstanding contribution' to Manx culture, such as language, music and art.

The winners were all presented with a specially minted silver medal by former Chief Minister Donald Gelling at a ceremony in Douglas.

Tynwald President Laurence Skelly says recognizing our heritage and culture gives a sense of unity and belonging, so it's crucial to recognise these young people.
