Local legends sought for recognition awards

Published on 31 October 2024

The City of Launceston is seeking community heroes for its 2025 Community Recognition Awards.

The annual Community Recognition Awards are designed to recognise outstanding contributions by Launceston residents who seek to make their community a better place.

There are four award categories — Citizen Award, Young Citizen Award, Sports Award and Community Event of the Year.

City of Launceston Mayor Matthew Garwood said the awards were designed to celebrate and recognise outstanding contributions by Launceston residents.

"Launceston is a city which punches above its weight, because of our amazing community," Mayor Garwood said.

"We know that within the Launceston community there are some incredible people across a wide range of sectors doing amazing work.

"It might be work that pushes Launceston onto the world stage, or someone making sure the local footy club has oranges at quarter time.

"If you know someone who should be recognised through these awards, we want to hear from you."

Nominations close on Friday, 29 November 2024.
