Deadline: 18-Nov-22
Do you know somebody worthy of a City of Ballarat Community Award? It is time to celebrate Ballarat’s outstanding achievers by nominating them for the 2023 City of Ballarat Community Awards.
The Ballarat Community Awards recognise the outstanding achievements of community members who have gone and beyond in the last year to improve the lives of everyone in the region.
Categories
-
Ballarat Citizen of the Year
- The Citizen of the Year is someone who has made an outstanding, but often quiet, contribution to the community and region. It could be over a lifetime, or as a result of a specific event or of need. It could have covered a range of activities and interests.
- Nominate someone who has inspired you, often the unsung heroes who give and give, expecting nothing in return but are making a real impact.
-
Ballarat Young Citizen of the Year
- The Young Citizen of the Year must be under 25 years of age on 26 January 2023 and is someone already showing leadership, passion and commitment to giving to the community, even as they are still starting on their journey. They may be committed to bringing positive change, to bringing political and social change and moving towards becoming a local, state, or national leader of the future.
- Support them on their journey by recognising and rewarding their efforts.
-
Community Activity of the Year
- The opportunities to get together and celebrate the communities, the regions, the multiculturalism, the uniqueness have been limited over the last year, but that does not mean they haven’t been celebrating. We’d love to hear about all sorts of events that have been happening to celebrate the things that make Ballarat a great place to live – be they online, in person, or a hybrid of both.
- The Community Activity of the Year Award is presented to the group or person who has staged the most outstanding community activity, either small or large, between 30 October 2021 and 29 October 2022.
Criteria
- The Ballarat Community Awards are provided by the Australia Day Committee (Victoria) and are administered by Local Government Authorities throughout Australia, on behalf of each council.
- The Awards will be presented at an official presentation in January 2023.
