Greater Manchester‘s young talent is to be “embraced and celebrated” at an annual awards ceremony later this year, and you can now get your nominations in.
For over a decade now, the Manchester Young Talent Awards (MYTA) have been recognising outstanding individuals and organisations throughout the region, with different 14 award categories covering everything from the Global Citizen and Community Project of the year awards, to the Professional of the Year award, and so much more.
Awards are given out to talented teams and individuals aged 18-40 in a broad range of areas across the region’s thriving and diverse business community.
Finance, hospitality, legal, creative, and marketing are just some of the sectors awarded each year.
As well celebrating the achievements of those awarded, MYTA are also known for championing the city region itself as a “global centre of excellence”, with a beating heart steeped in history, culture, and community that keeps people coming back for more.

On top of that, the awards are a highlight in the city’s social calendar too, as they’re also a brilliant way to make new connections with Manchester‘s professional community.
Entries for the 2022 MYTA are currently open, and event organisers are now encouraging individuals and companies to get involved by nominating their talented employees, colleagues, teams, and even their mates to be celebrated in the way they deserve.
MYTAs are founded on an evidenced nomination process, which is then assessed by a group of independent judges.
Depending on the award, nominees may be individuals or organisations.

But how exactly do you nominate an individual or organisation to be in with a chance of winning an award? And is there any criteria?
Well, there’s a couple of different ways you can go about it.
Do you know an individual or a team who has gone above and beyond?
Why not nominate them for a Manchester Young Talent Award. With 14 categories, we can not wait to celebrate the 12th edition of the MYTA's, on the 4th of November 2022.
Full Entry – This can be done by the nominee themselves (which is an individual or organisation, depending on the award) or on behalf of the proposed nominee, and it provides full details and evidence on why this receipt should be considered for the award.
‘Nominate a Mate’ – This process is done to suggest that an individual or organisation consider putting themselves forward for a specific award, and the proposed nominee is then contacted and asked to fill out the full nomination form above.
You can fill out the full nomination form here, or you can nominate a mate here.
The deadline for entries to MYTA 2022 close on Monday 12 September 2022, with shortlisting to be undertaken by an independent panel of judges following that, and winners set to be announced at the upcoming ceremony.

Manchester Young Talent Awards 2022 are taking place on Friday 4 November at The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel.
This year’s MYTA would not be made possible without event partners, leading North West events management company, TLC Limited, as well as the driving force that is JCI Manchester – a non-for profit, volunteer-run organisation which, for nearly 75 years, has brought people together to provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change.
There are also a number of award sponsorship opportunities currently up for grabs too, with JCI Manchester ready to work with sponsors to help make MYTA 2022 an “impactful and celebratory event”.
There are a range of sponsorship packages available, and you can find out more here.

The massively underrated rooftop terrace in Manchester with great views and top cocktails
Daisy Jackson
Manchester city centre is generally STARVED of outdoor space, but we’ve found the perfect sun-soaked oasis where you can enjoy a bit of fresh air and a whole lot of great food and drinks.
Tucked up on the sixth floor of the award-winning boutique hotel King Street Townhouse, you’ll find a rooftop terrace with beautiful views of the city’s skyline.
As Manchester buzzes along beneath you, you can tuck in to everything from full charcuterie grazing boards to seasonal snacks and small plates, all served alongside an impressive wine and cocktail list.
This often-overlooked local spot is a firm favourite of those in the know, thanks to its sheltered location that basks in the sun all afternoon.
And although it’s in a prime city centre location, just a stone’s throw from Deansgate, St Peter’s Square and Market Street, it’s a luxurious escape from it all – as is the entire boutique hotel it’s part of.
Whether it’s a post-work social, a relaxed date night, or a cheeky afternoon cocktail, the King Street Townhouse Terrace is open to the public and available for walk-ins or bookings when it isn’t privately hired.
On the menu you can expect locally-sourced dishes like Pollen sourdough served with whipped butter, a meat or cheese grazing board loaded with British produce, and larger plates like a beef and bone marrow burger or a fried fish roll topped with crisps.

Pairing perfectly with a spritz or a beer are snacks like deep-fried Gordal olives, stuffed with fennel sausage, and a brioche garlic bread packed with cream cheese.
The hotel has a cocktail list that celebrates classic drinks and a few of their own signature concoctions, and it doesn’t feel much more luxurious than when you treat yourself to a glass of sky-high champagne with views like this.
The South Terrace can also be hired privately for leisure or corporate events, with tailored catering options including summer BBQs.
And you can ramp up your trip to this oasis by staying overnight in one of the boutique hotels’ rooms, or visiting the King Street Townhouse ESPA spa for a treatment.

A massive Manchester United fan zone is being set up for the Europa League final
Danny Jones
With Man United officially booking their spot in the Europa League final, a massive fan zone is being set up in Manchester for fans to watch it.
The Reds are going to Bilbao, but flights and tickets aren’t cheap, so a huge fan park will have to do.
Supporter park specialists 4 The Fans – the same team behind the huge sites at the likes of Manchester’s Secret City, Love Factory and the Progress Centre for Euro 2024 – are putting one of the biggest fan zones yet for the game on Wednesday, 21 May.
4 The Fans are committed to putting on a huge fan zone over in Stretford, and with well over 50,000 fans attending their events over the last three years, it’s sure to be a mega atmosphere.

Having seen the atmosphere at some of their previous events first hand, this latest fan zone plan is giving us real Euros vibes.
Set to take over the Bowlers Exhibition Centre, a.k.a. the BEC Arena over in Stretford, the enormous events space will be transformed into one of their biggest fan zones to date, with the biggest screen in Manchester.
VIP seated tickets are also available, and parents are welcome to bring their kids along to the family-friendly event.
Tickets are already available and, in fact, they were so confident in the result against Athletic Club that supporters were guaranteed their money back if Ruben Amorim’s side managed to capitulate.
No harm, no foul and, turns out, no need to worry anyway.

If the idea of being surrounded by fellow Reds for the game isn’t an attractive enough prospect on its own for you, United fans, the event is also set to be hosted by a club legend (still yet to be announced), with DJs and music, as well as special effects throughout.
Of course, there’ll be plenty of pints and scran to fuel the promoter’s famous fan energy on offer too, so you really will be sorted from start to finish.
Doors to the BEC open at 5:30pm, with last entry at 7:30pm ahead of the 8pm kick-off; tickets start from just £8. Until then, you can watch back the highlights from the previous match down below. You can grab yours HERE.
How are you feeling for the final – are Ruben’s Reds going to lift the Europa League trophy?
