No doubt about it, the National Youth Activist Awards were a dynamic success. One hundred youth and attendance over 300, crowded the ballroom of the Omni Hotel & Resorts Nashville to participate in the distinguished awards: Honoring youth doing exemplary works in the classroom, community, and playing field. You could feel the excitement when you first entered the Omni Hotel, as youth and their families were met by a 100 foot red carpet.
The awards ceremony began with the playing of videos submitted by nominees, which displayed their hard work, while enjoying a 5 star meal prepared by the Omni Hotel.
