The Scots Language Awards are now welcoming nominations for this year’s celebration of Scots which recognises the achievements of individuals and organisations dedicated to the promotion of the indigenous language.

Nominations open today until Sunday 3rd August, and span categories across business, literature, culture, community initiatives and more. Nine awards are up for grabs decided by public vote, while the Scots Champion, Janet Paisley Services to Scots and Young Scots Writer awards will be decided by a panel of judges.

This year’s event will now move from East Ayrshire to another heartland of the Scots tongue, Dundee, taking place at 12.30pm on Saturday 6th September at the iconic Discovery Centre, home of the RRS Discovery Ship.

The awards will be a daytime event this year, making them as inclusive and accessible to as many award nominees from across Scotland as possible.
The seventh edition of the event promises to be a memorable day to honour the vibrant Scots leid and its vital contribution to the fabric of Scotland’s cultural identity.
Remarkable efforts in preserving and promoting the Scots tongue in its many forms, ranging from Doric and Dundonian to Shetlandic will be recognised.
