Nominate your local hero for our 'Citizen of the Year', 'Young Citizen of the Year', or 'Sportsperson of the Year' awards.
Bayside's Citizen of the Year awards recognise the achievements and contributions of an everyday Bayside resident who has done something exceptional to change a life, help a community, promote a good cause or run a campaign to get something done.
That special person may be a charity worker, volunteer or simply a caring neighbour. A local ‘hero’ who has made a difference.
Let us know if you know someone who has done something extraordinary in our community by nominating them as 'Citizen of the Year', 'Young Citizen of the Year', or 'Sportsperson of the Year'. It is a great way to say thank you.
