Shining a light on our young achievers

NOMINATIONS are open for the annual Alpine Shire Youth Awards. These awards shine a spotlight on the talent, dedication and resilience of local young people aged 12 to 21, recognising their contributions across a wide range of fields. From academic excellence to artistic brilliance, community leadership to sporting achievements, Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas said the Youth Awards honour the diverse strength, commitment and stories of our next generation. “Our young people continue to inspire us with their passion, creativity and determination,” Cr Nicholas said. “These awards are a powerful reminder of the positive impact young people have in our community every day.” Community members, schools, organisations and peers are encouraged to nominate the names of outstanding young individuals. “This is our chance to say thank you and to shine a light on the future leaders of our region," Cr Nicholas said. "Whether it’s a student who’s gone above and beyond, a young artist making waves, or a quiet achiever who’s shown incredible resilience: now is the time to recognise their efforts." Young people can be nominated in one or more of the following categories: academic, community, endurance and persistence, performing arts, proud and deadly, rural sports and recreation visual arts and media and in the workplace.
