NOMINATE NOW FOR 2025 AUSTRALIA DAY BAY ISLANDER OF THE YEAR AWARDS
Islanders should submit names now for the 2025 Australia Day Bay Islander of the Year Awards. The awards are held annually on Australia Day, with several categories to be awarded. These Australia Day Awards are sponsored by The Friendly Bay Islander/Radio FBI and Division 5 Redland City Councillor Shane Rendalls.
There are three categories to be recognised:
Bay Islander of the Year
Senior Bay Islander of the Year (60 years and over)
Young Bay Islander of the Year (16 to 30 years)
The online survey for nominations is available on The Friendly Bay Islander website: thefriendlybayislander.com. The awards recognise Bay Islanders who best demonstrate community spirit and involvement. They are not judged by the number of entries received per person; a panel is selected based on merit.
Australia Day 2025, on Sunday, January 26, will see Cr Shane Rendalls, The Friendly Bay Islander, BIMSARA, Running Wild, the Island Auto Club, Bay Islands Soccer, and Bay Islands Kid’s Fitness combine to offer a fantastic and free community event. This will be held at the Sports Field precinct on Russell Island, adjacent to the Resilience Centre and tennis courts.
The Island Australia Day awards will be presented at this event, and residents of all SMB Islands are invited to attend. If you know someone who deserves to be recognised, please NOMINATE NOW!
