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.

Outstanding Citizen Award
2018 saw the inclusion of a new award category – the Outstanding Citizen Award. This new award recognises outstanding achievement, be it through longevity of service, a past award recipient who has continued to service the community, or someone who has contributed an outstanding service to our community.
