Noosa Today has joined Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Bendigo Bank’s Trish Radge to put a spotlight on some of Noosa’s selfless and inspirational residents with the 2021 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards.

We’re calling on people to honour our unsung heroes and nominate those who volunteer or give their time, expertise or services to the Noosa electorate for an award.

This week the award partners came together for a sneak peak at the medallions to be presented to each of the award recipients.

“Queensland Day is an opportunity to celebrate our culture, heritage, people and unique identity. We also get to honour our inspiring Queensland role models who encourage us all to do better and be better. So many of our Noosa locals do this by working for the benefit of others and for our collective community,” Sandy said.

With so many worthy recipients in our community we are anticipating a great response but we urge people to nominate soon with the deadline looming on Monday 17 May. The awards are open to first-time recipients who have volunteered for a minimum of two years with a limit of two nominations per organisation and whose community work is within the Noosa electorate.

Every completed nomination recognised will see the recipient presented a personalised Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award Medallion and a certificate of recognition at a Queensland Day Ceremony on Thursday 3 June at The J Theatre, Noosaville.

Bendigo Bank’s, Trish Radge said continuing the partnership of the awards continues to be a great fit.

“Like our other award partner, Noosa Today, our point of difference is our connection with our community. We’re proud of the fact that our Noosa branches work so closely with so many of these groups. Our branches exist so we can return profits right here, where we live. It’s great being part of this annual Queensland Day tradition and honouring our local treasures,” Trish said.

The annual Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards are proudly sponsored by Sandy Bolton MP, Noosa Today and the Tewantin Noosa, Cooroy and Pomona Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank.

For more information about the awards, contact the Noosa Electorate Office on 5319 3100 or download, complete and email your nomination with a photo of the recipient to sandyBolton.com.

Nomination forms are also available from Sandy’s office 28 Eenie Creek Rd, Noosaville or from the Noosa Today office at 36 Mary Street, Noosaville.
