Snowy Monaro Regional Council is calling on our community to step up and nominate a deserving local for the 2023 NSW Local Citizen of the Year Awards.
Always a highlight of the yearly Australia Day program across the state, the NSW Local Citizen of the Year Awards recognise the contributions of local legends, heroes and quiet achievers of all kinds.
Rural and regional communities like ours are famous for selflessness, community-mindedness, and heroism in times of need and crisis. The Snowy Monaro community plays a big part in making the place we call home such an incredible place to live, work and raise a family.
Each year, Snowy Monaro Australia Day committees from Bombala, Cooma and Jindabyne register for the program.
The award categories this year are:
- Citizen of the Year (19 & older)
- Young Citizen of the Year (18 & younger)
- Special Achievement of the Year
- Sportsperson of the Year (19 & older)
- Young Sportsperson of the Year (18 & younger)
- Community Event of the Year
- Community Group of the Year
- Arts and Cultural Person of the Year
- Emergency Services Worker of the Year
- Business of the Year (new or existing)
- Environmental Award (individual or group, open aged)
- Young Environmental Citizen of the Year (school aged)
Nominations close at midday Saturday 7 January 2023.
