Have you got your nomination in yet? Nominations for this year’s Tweed Sustainability Awards close on 31 July – time is running out, so get in quick.
If you’re feeling shy about putting yourself forward, Council encourages everyone actively working hard for the environment to share their story and inspire others.
The aim of the awards is to celebrate local sustainability champions and eco-friendly initiatives across the Tweed community.
Council’s sustainability program leader Debbie Firestone said we want to hear from all people across the community - don’t let the word champion scare you.
“An environmental champion can be someone who takes recycling seriously or has set up a paper-saving initiative at their business or is looking at ways to reduce energy use at home or school,” Ms Firestone said.
“It’s really about sharing the stories and efforts of people in the Tweed working hard to make a difference wherever they are. I’d really encourage nominating yourself to share the work you are doing to inspire others to do the same.”
Entrants are invited to share the actions and impacts they have achieved over the past 2 years, with nominations open to both new and previous nominees. All nominees go in the draw for a 2-night cabin stay at a Tweed Holiday Park of their choice. Terms and conditions apply.
Nominate online by midnight on Monday 31 July or find out more.
The award winners will be announced at a showcase event on Thursday 12 October 2023.
