The countdown is on to nominate someone for the Douglas City Council 2024 Community Awards.
It’s the third year of the initiative which shines the spotlight on unsung heroes in the capital.
The Awards, for which nominations are accepted up until Saturday, September 28, recognise a Community Champion; a Douglas ratepayer who has made a significant difference.
Also to recognise a Young Hero; a young person aged 15 or under who resides in Douglas, who has also made an outstanding contribution to the local community.
Community Awards
The criteria is wide open and can range from someone who helps the vulnerable or disadvantaged to those inspirational mentors who empower our youth.
It can include dedicated volunteers and tireless fundraisers who selflessly give their time to support others, whether that be in musical, sporting or other endeavours, or environmental advocates working to protect our natural surroundings.
Mayor of Douglas, Councillor Natalie Byron-Teare, J.P. will chair a three-person panel to determine the winners, which will be announced at a prize presentation in October.
Nomination forms can be found HERE.
The individual must live in Douglas, although nominations can be made from all Island residents.
