The Everton Park community currently has the opportunity to recognise our local achievers by nominating them for a 2013 Lord Mayor’s Australia Day Award.

The Australia Day Awards are held every year to help recognise individuals, groups and organisations in Brisbane for their achievements and contributions in sporting, cultural or arts endeavours.

Surely we all know somebody who should be awarded for their achievements, and there are a number of categories they can be nominated in, including the following:

  • Citizen of the Year
  • Senior Citizen of the Year
  • Young Citizen of the Year
  • Community Event of the Year
  • Australia Day Cultural/Arts Award
  • Australia Day Sports Award
  • Australia Day Achievement Awards
  • Lord Mayor’s Green Heart Award – Individual
  • Lord Mayor’s Green Heart Award – Organisation
  • Lord Mayor’s Green Heart Youth Award

To read the selection criteria, and to find out how to nominate, head to the Brisbane City Council website.

Brisbane residents have until Friday November 16 to nominate, so there’s plenty of time to think about who you think is worthy of a nomination.

Good luck to everyone nominated for the 2013 Lord Mayor’s Australia Day Awards and we’re looking forward to finding out who will be our next Citizen of the Year!
