Wyndham residents are being encouraged to to throw a spotlight on community heroes by nominating them for the 2025 Wyndham Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year Awards.
Mayor Jennie Barrera said now was the perfect time to recognise those who contribute to making Wyndham a great place to live, work and play.
“We’ve all met someone who goes above and beyond to serve our community, whether it be in our workplace, local community group or sporting club,” she said.
“This could include areas such as education, health, fundraising, charitable and voluntary services, business, sport, art, the environment and others.
“Working behind the scenes to help others, often these people are the very last ones to put themselves forward and that’s why your nomination is so important. These awards are a terrific way for us to say thank you.
“This recognition can also make a big difference to their work, particularly in supporting the growth and advancement of our young residents with the Young Citizen of the Year award.”
Young Citizen of the Year is open to residents aged 16 – 25 years, with Citizen of the Year open to aged 26 and above.
Nominations will be assessed by an independent judging panel, with the winners announced in early 2025.
Nominations for the Wyndham Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year Awards are open until September 15.
