Jewson has prizes up for grabs in five categories; best apprentice, best young tradesperson under 18, best young tradesperson 18-24, best young tradesperson 25-30 and best young business person/entrepreneur.

The competition is open to anyone aged 30 and under in a skilled trade and working full or part-time in the construction industry.
