Trustpower Community Awards
The awards cover five categories:
- Heritage and Environment;
- Health and Wellbeing;
- Arts and Culture;
- Sport and Leisure;
- Education and Child/Youth Development.
Anyone can enter a voluntary group or community organisation for the Awards - and best of all it only takes a few minutes of your time.
A panel made up of representatives from the local community, the council and Trustpower will judge the entries, based on set criteria including voluntary input, effectiveness of activities and the impact on the district.
The Community Awards are then presented at a formal function, to which representatives of all entered organisations are invited. All award recipients take home a framed certificate with category winners receiving $500, runners up $250 and the Supreme Winner receiving $1,500, a trophy and an all-expenses paid trip for two representatives to attend the Trustpower National Community Awards.
