Citizen Awards
The Stratford District Council Citizens and Youth Citizens Awards nominations are an annual celebration and have been part of the fabric of our community for over 30 years.
They identify local champions in our community who have shown leadership, inspiration, or dedication to a cause, contributing to the overall wellbeing of our district.
Our district is full of go-getters, doers, supporters, helpers, organisers - you name it, we have people in our community that will put their hand up and do it. We love celebrating these people and invite you to nominate your local champion for a Citizen Award or Youth Citizen Award every year during May.
Nominations are open now and will close on 31 May 2024. Successful recipients will be announced in July with a celebration ceremony held on 6 August 2024.
