Know someone great in Hamilton?
Nominations for the 2011 Civic awards close on 24 October 2011.
Outstanding things are achieved everyday in Hamilton, thanks in part to the invaluable work of many dedicated members of our community. Each year the Hamilton Civic Awards aim to recognise those exceptional people in our midst. From their involvement in arts and culture to their dedication to people, the environment, education, sport and enterprise - we owe much of the quality of life we enjoy to their quiet efforts.
The Hamilton Civic Awards are a valuable opportunity to highlight the hard work that is helping our community to reach its potential. As well as recognising individual achievements, the awards celebrate the value of giving back to our community.
If you know someone making an outstanding contribution to the community, we want to hear about it.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who has made an exceptional contribution to Hamilton can be nominated for a Civic Award. Traditionally the awards have acknowledged voluntary service, but contributions made during paid service are also eligible.
The judging process
Hamilton Civic Awards nominations are considered by the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Chairperson of the city's Community and Environment Committee. Nominations are considered on the basis of the description of the service given and the quality of the supporting references included in the application. Each year the panel grants a maximum of 20 Civic Awards.
