Albury Awards
Celebrate individuals, organisations and businesses making an outstanding contribution to the Albury community.
Nominations are open!
Do you know someone who above and beyond to contribute to the Albury community? Nominate them today!
Every year, our community is enriched by the outstanding contributions of its volunteers. These awards serve as a heartfelt tribute to those who have gone above and beyond, leaving an indelible mark on our city. From community champions and dedicated volunteers to innovative thinkers and compassionate leaders, the Albury Awards highlight the diverse tapestry of talent and dedication within our midst.
Each year we celebrate stories of resilience, dedication, and passion that define the recipients of the Albury Awards. These are individuals who have not only excelled in their respective fields but have also inspired others to dream bigger and reach higher. Their achievements remind us that, collectively, we can achieve greatness and shape the future of our amazing community.
2027 Categories
- Citizen of the Year
- Young Citizen of the Year
- Community Group of the Year
- NEW: Emerging Community Group of the Year
- Groups formed in the five years before 26 January 2027
- A group can receive only one community group award per year.
All categories recognise voluntary contributions that go above and beyond and benefit the Albury community. Paid work or length of service alone won't qualify.
Recipients are determined by an independent panel.
Nominees must show a contribution to Albury but don't need to live in the LGA. The guidelines also set out who isn't eligible, including individual self-nominations, AlburyCity staff for work-related contributions, and recent recipients of the same award.
Two questions, covering how the nominee has gone above and beyond and the impact on Albury. One referee is required, supporting documents are optional and consent is confirmed before any publicity.
One nomination is enough, and the number received carries no weight.
Recipients have a three-minute. Speeches focus on their community contribution and won't be used to promote political parties, candidates or campaigns.
The 2027 Albury Awards Presentation will be held in conjunction with Council's Australia Day activities, Tuesday 26 January 2027 at Noreuil Park Foreshore.
Celebrate the achievements of our nominees and award recipients and hear from previous winners on the impact the awards have had on their personal and philanthropic endeavours.
Join us throughout the day as we come together to honour our newest Australian citizens and celebrate the achievements of our inspiring Albury Awards nominees and recipients.
This special occasion recognises the individuals and groups who make Albury an exceptional place to live - people whose dedication, leadership, and community spirit help shape the heart of our city. Guests will also hear from previous award winners as they reflect on how the experience has influenced their journey and strengthened their commitment to giving back.
The Albury Awards Presentation is open to all, and we warmly invite the community to join us in celebrating the remarkable people who make Albury truly extraordinary.
