The years fly by at lightning speed, and we often don't have time to stop and say to each other very simply: "Thank you for being here, and it's great to see what you're doing!"

On December 17, we invite everyone to come together for a cozy, full of surprises and fun 2026 Utena Youth Awards. It will be an evening when there is no need to rush anywhere: we will meet up with friends we haven't seen for a long time, share a good time and loudly celebrate those whose light shone brightest in Utena this year.
The awards night is just around the corner, and until then, we need to do our homework. Notice, evaluate, and nominate those who deserve the biggest applause this year.
__________
ROUND I: NOMINATION – October 20–November 3.
They say: those who have friends have wealth. And when those friends also move mountains, unite communities, create art, play sports, or quietly do great and small beautiful deeds - how are we not the richest people in the world?
Help us find the best ones!

ROUND II: VOTING – November 9–29.
Your vote will determine in whose hands the statuette of the Utena Youth Awards 2026 will shine, full of gratitude and joy. Vote for the most worthy!
We will announce voting information later.

Come not only to support the nominees, but also to just hang out.
We will be waiting for you!
The event is financed by the Utena District Municipality, implementing the project "Labels - for clothes, not for youth"
