NOMINATIONS have opened for the annual Frankston Citizen of the Year awards. Categories open for nominations include citizen of the year for people aged 24 years and over, young citizen of the year for people aged under 24 years, and community group of the year. The winners will be announced at an event in January.
Frankston councillor Sue Baker has encouraged people to nominate outstanding citizens – she said “the Citizen of the Year Awards are a wonderful way to shine a light on the individuals and groups who quietly go above and beyond for our city.”
“If you know someone who’s made a significant difference – whether it’s through volunteering, leadership, or simply being there for others – this is the perfect opportunity to give them the recognition they deserve.”
This year’s winner of the citizen of the year award was Wayne Holdsworth. Nominations for the next awards close on Friday 31 October – to make a nomination visit frankston.vic.gov.au/COTY
