Nominations for the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Community Awards close this Sunday.
The awards recognise those special individuals, groups and organisations who are making a real difference in our community. Six categories are available for nominations.
But one category that often gets overlooked is the Young Citizen of the Year award.
A nomination is a great way to support a young person who is contributing to our regional community. Previous recipients have gone on to gain exposure through event opportunities and promotion for their preferred causes, as well as putting a spotlight on their activities and successes for the duration of their term.
Sunshine Coast’s next young citizen is:
- 25 years and under (as of November 30 this year)
- an inspirational role model
- showing excellence in their field
- doing great things in the community.
If that sounds like someone you know, perhaps your son or daughter, a trainee, student or colleague, nominate them now.
The full categories are:
- Citizen of the Year, sponsored by 7 News Sunshine Coast
- Senior Citizen of the Year, sponsored by Maroochy RSL
- Young Citizen of the Year, sponsored by 92.7 MixFM
- Community Group or Organisation, sponsored by Sunshine Coast Daily
- Creative Arts, sponsored by Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation
- Healthy and Active, sponsored by My Weekly Preview.
Nominating is simple. Complete an application online by 5pm, November 30.
