Rural and regional communities like ours are famous for selflessness, community-mindedness, and heroism in times of need and crisis. The Snowy Monaro community plays a big part in making the place we call home such an incredible place to live, work and raise a family.

• Special Achievement of the Year (community event, community group, arts and culture, emergency service, business or education)
• Sportsperson of the Year (19 & older)
• Young Sportsperson of the Year (18 & younger)
• Environmental Award (individual or group, open aged)
• Young Environmental Citizen of the Year (school aged)

Snowy Monaro Australia Day events are coordinated by local community run committees from Bombala, Cooma and Jindabyne.
