Entries are still open for the Pride of New Zealand Awards, honouring extraordinary Kiwis making a major difference in their communities.
The Stratford Press is again supporting the awards and we are calling for local nominations of people who put others first and go out of their way to make this a better place to live. If you know of an everyday hero, then put their name forward - award nominations are open until June 14, with regional award ceremonies in August and the national awards ceremony in September. There are six awards: Bravery & Heroism; Community Spirit; Fundraiser of the Year; Emergency Services; Environmental; and Lifetime Achievement.
Visit the website for details and to nominate someone. The Pride of New Zealand Awards can also be found on Facebook: PrideOfNZAwards and Twitter: @PrideOfNZ
Members of the public will again be given a chance to vote for the People's Choice Award.
