Do you know someone who makes your community a better place?
The Citizen of the Year Awards are a great opportunity to recognise and celebrate outstanding members of your community or township. The Citizen of the Year Awards reward and recognise people and groups that have made a significant contribution to the Roper Gulf region during the current year (2022). There are three award categories for each community.
