Selection Guidelines:

In choosing the recipients of the Nannup Citizen of the Year Awards, regard is given to the Nominee's achievements in the year immediately prior to receiving the award, as well as their past achievements and ongoing contribution to the community. The number of nominations received per nominee bears no weight in their selection.

Recipients will have been judged to have shown:

• Significant contribution to the local community over and above what is normally expected from their paid employment/business;
• Demonstrated leadership on a community issue, resulting in the enhancement of community life;
• A significant initiative which has brought about positive change and added value to community life; and
• Possess Inspiring qualities as a role model for the community.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Nominees should reside or work principally within the Shire of Nannup; 
• Awards may be granted posthumously in recognition of recent achievements; 
• Groups of people or couples will not normally be eligible, except when meeting the criteria for a community group;
• A person may receive an award on more than one occasion in recognition of their particularly outstanding community contribution or involvement in anlternative initiative; 
• Unsuccessful nominees may be nominated in future years;
• Nominations must be apolitical in their nature, and should not in any way bring the awards program or the Shire of Nannup into disrepute;
• Sitting members of State, Federal and Local Government are not eligible.

The Shire of Nannup encourages all nominators to recognise and acknowledge those in their community, displaying ideals of social justice, cultural diversity and social inclusion.
