The ‘Dystonia Superstar Award’ is your chance to recognise a superstar in the dystonia community – whether they have dystonia themselves or not, they are someone that has made a difference to you or others. It’s up to you to decide what makes them a Dystonia Superstar. And this year we want to see people from all across the UK! 1 Superstar each from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The ’Young Champion Award’ offers the perfect opportunity to celebrate individuals aged 16-25 who embody extraordinary qualities and deserve some recognition! Whether they are living life with dystonia, demonstrate exceptional support as a sibling or have achieved something you want everybody to know about, now is the moment to acknowledge how outstanding they are. Let’s shine the spotlight on these remarkable individuals and give them the recognition they truly deserve!
The ‘Masked Hero Award’ celebrates a medical professional who has made a difference to your life from doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and professionals all dedicated to the dystonia community. We want to recognise those special people whose care, attention and commitment have gone beyond the call of duty.
