Civic Awards
Outstanding things are achieved every day in Hamilton, thanks in part to the invaluable work of many dedicated members of our community. Each year the Hamilton Civic Awards aim to recognise those exceptional people in our midst.
The awards are open to people who have made an outstanding contribution to the community. Nomination categories include involvement in the arts, dedication to people and wellbeing, the environment, education, and sport.
Civic award nominations are now open.
