Seeking Young Achievers - Young Achievers Awards

We’re looking for outstanding young people who have achieved at a high level. 

Nominations are now open for the annual Masterton District Council Young Achiever Awards. 

In past years achievers have included the supreme winner of young Fashion Designer of the Year, a national umpire in table tennis, a national surf lifesaving champion, a motocross champ, top dancers and a New Zealand representative in water polo. 

“The number and quality of nominations we receive every year for these awards never ceases to amaze me,” says Mayor Garry Daniell.  

“The talent and commitment in our community is really very impressive.  Most of the recipients have not only achieved at a high level themselves but also provide leadership to assist others to do well,” Mr Daniell said.

“The selection panels always have a hard task deciding who the final recipients will be.”

To be considered for an award, a person must be nominated by any two officers of any organisation, association, society or club, by a School’s Board of Trustees, or by two members of the public who are residents of Masterton. 

Nominations close November 12. 

Nomination forms can be picked up from the Masterton District Council offices, 64 Chapel Street, or downloaded from the Council’s website: www.mstn.govt.nz.
