The Mayor's Citizen Award
Do you know any unsung heroes whose praises you'd like to sing? Do you know any groups within your community who contribute to the city but don't get the recognition they deserve? Then read on...
The Mayor of Salford, Councillor George Wilson is continuing with the Mayor's Citizen Award which was re-launched last year.
People of any age can now be nominated, as long as they've made an outstanding contribution to the city of Salford. The contribution could be through services to the arts, industry, commerce, the community, entertainment, sport, education or to the welfare of others, either nationally, regionally or at city level. Get nominating people now, so they can follow in the footsteps of one of Salford's famous sons - Russell Watson - a previous Mayor's Citizen Award winner.
What are the award categories?
The awards are split into three categories:
- children
- community groups
- adults
A different category will run every month e.g. the children's award will run in July, then the community groups award in August and so on.
