Motorsport UK is pleased to open the 2022 Young Media Awards nomination process.

The governing body’s annual Young Journalist of the Year Award and Young Photographer of the Year Award shine light on the best young media professionals.  

The governing body’s annual competition has long sought to encourage and inspire the next generation of reporters and photographers working within the UK’s vibrant motorsport community. 

An expert panel of judges – including several previous winners now at the cutting edge of the industry – will consider applications for both categories, and select one winner from each category.  

The winners will be honoured at the annual Motorsport UK Night of Champions, held at the Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall in January 2023. Alongside the recognition of being acknowledged for their work, the recipients will receive a Motorsport UK trophy as well as a cheque for £1,000 to further their progress within motorsport media.
