Nominations are being sought to celebrate the work and achievements of the area's young people.
The Positive About Youth Awards are organised by Renfrewshire Youth Voice, with support from Renfrewshire Council’s Youth Services.
Isla Grimes, chairperson of Renfrewshire Youth Voice, said: "The PAY Awards are integral to Renfrewshire Youth Voice and embody everything the group stands for.
"Young people are often misjudged or portrayed in a negative light, so the awards offer a chance for the young people of Renfrewshire to celebrate each other and be recognised for their hard work and achievements which otherwise may go unnoticed."
The deadline for nominations has been extended until 5pm on Wednesday, October 23, with the awards celebration due to be held at the Normandy Hotel on Thursday, November 7.
Councillor Bruce MacFarlane, Renfrewshire Council’s young person’s champion, said: "Young people are the future of Renfrewshire and it’s important we continue to celebrate their achievements and community contributions.
"If you know a young person who deserves to be recognised, please nominate them for a PAY Award."

- Forging Your Own Path Award
- Alan Cruickshanks Eco Award
- Volunteer of the Year Award
- Unsung Hero Award
- Youth Group of the Year Award
