Nominating someone for an Australia Day Award gives the community an opportunity to publicly recognise and reward that person. You are invited to nominate a friend, family member, community leader or a colleague - the unsung heroes who you believe makes the Scenic Rim a great place to live.
Let’s give them the recognition they deserve!
TIPS FOR NOMINATING
A few things you should consider to ensure your nomination provides us with enough information about the achievements of the person/s, event you are nominating.
- Complete form and provide examples to support your statements. This will help the judging panel when applications are being assessed.
- If at all possible, please include the age of the person you are nominating. This helps with categories.
- Include supporting documentation such as newspaper articles, websites or personal references. Anything that you feel will assist the judging panel in making their decision.
- Entries must be submitted electronically via SmartyGrants
- All nominees must be Australian residents and reside within the Scenic Rim Regional Council boundary.
- The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The number of nominations received per nominee bears no weight on their selection.
The 2025 Australia Day Award nominations are open from 2 September, 2024 and will close on Monday 18 November, 2024 at 5pm.
