Albury Awards

It is time to celebrate excellence and inspiration in our community!

Every year, our community is enriched by the outstanding contributions of its residents. 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.

Nominations can be submitted between Monday, 30 September and Monday, 2 December 2024.

Please Note: hardcopy nomination forms can be collected from the AlburyCity Kiewa Street Office.

The Albury Awards are the perfect opportunity to celebrate our community. If you know a local that should be recognised and celebrated, make sure you nominate them today!
