More than 60 groups will be recognised this year, with more than $50,000 in award money and prizes.

People making a submission will go into a draw to win one prize of a night’s accommodation for two people at Rydges Wellington Airport, including breakfast for two and a $150 Whiskey Lima Golf dinner voucher. Awards will be presented in six categories: art and culture; education and child/youth development; health and well-being; heritage and environment; sport and leisure; and the Rising Star award for new and emerging community groups.

In making the awards, the judges take into consideration volunteer input, utilisation of resources, innovation and creativity, effectiveness of activities and impact within the community – all with a focus on activities within the past year.

People can submit nominations online at https://www.wellingtonairport.co.nz/community/ wellington-airport-community-awards/community-awards/ nominate-group/.

Nominations close on 31 May.
