The Australia Day awards for next year are open, begging for people to make a fuss of champions who turn up day in, day out for the good of others, often without reward or recognition.
If someone you know fits that bill, it’s time to make a fuss – and nominate them for a gong.
Every year, extraordinary local residents are recognised on Australia Day for their contributions.
Anita Anderson, founder of A Touch of Hope, is the City of Logan’s 2021 Citizen of Year.
Despite facing personal health battles, Ms Anderson’s efforts to feed, clothe and care for those in need continue to improve the lives of countless people.
Juliet Thottunkal, 18, is the City of Logan’s 2021 Young Person of the Year. She raised thousands of dollars for the Cancer Council and other charities in recent years, while also finishing school.
Nominations close Tuesday, November 30. Category winners are selected by a committee of community members and Council representatives.
