NSW/ACT REGIONAL ACHIEVEMENT & COMMUNITY AWARDS

Posted on 05 Jun, 2018

The NSW/ACT Regional Achievement and Community Awards are designed to encourage, acknowledge and reward the valuable contributions individuals, communities and businesses are making throughout regional and rural NSW & the ACT.

Do you know an individual, group or organisation who deserves to be recognised? We would love for you to enter them into the Awards!

Below, and attached is a list of categories that are now open.

Good news…we have made things nice and easy for you this year! Everyone knows someone worthy of recognition but we received feedback that people just don’t have the time to complete the nomination. All you have to do is click here to simply fill in their contact details and hit submit! We will then get in contact with them and have them complete the questions, it is that easy!

Great prizes are up for grabs, plus every nominee will receive a dedicated media release sent to their local paper encouraging them to write a story and will receive a certificate of achievement!

The Awards are free to enter – and completing a nomination online is easy! If you are ready to start your nomination please click here to get it underway.
