The British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) is inviting nominations for its 2011 Young Broker of the Year Award.
The award will be presented on the 11 May at the BIBA conference in Manchester and includes a £1,500 prize.
According to the Association it is designed to recognise young brokers for their outstanding performance and encourage commitment to the future professionalism of the insurance industry.
Judges said they are looking to reward a rising star who has made a valuable contribution for the benefit of his or her company.
To be eligible, the young broker should be able to demonstrate excellent performance, initiative, team spirit, and personal progression and professional commitment to broking.
Eric Galbraith, chief executive of BIBA, said: "It is very important that we continue to support the future generation of our profession and we are encouraging our members to nominate their younger achievers for this award.
"We aim to recognise the achievements of these professionals, who are dedicating themselves both on a professional and educational level."
Entries should be submitted to an applicable BIBA region with the regional winners put forward to the national award.
The deadline for entries is 31 March.
