Mayor seeks nominations to celebrate Shrewsbury's unsung heroes
Nominations are being sought to celebrate those unsung heroes who have made an outstanding contribution to the town of Shrewsbury.
The Mayor, Councillor David Vasmer, is asking businesses, organisations and residents to make submissions for Shrewsbury’s annual civic awards, designed to highlight those who have gone above and beyond for the benefit of the town.
Nominations are invited in eight categories, which will be judged by a panel of members and officers of the Town Council, with the winners revealed at an Awards evening at Shrewsbury Town Football Club on 7th May.
The Mayor will also present his special Awards to people he has met throughout the Mayoral Year and who have played a key part in helping make Shrewsbury a special place to live and work.
Councillor Vasmer said: “We want to celebrate all the people who help put the pride into our wonderful town. I have met so many unsung heroes during my time in office and these people wouldn’t dream of putting themselves in the limelight, so we need members of the public to nominate them. If you know of anyone who has gone the extra mile, please take the time to fill in a nomination form.”
“I would like everyone to take a minute and think of someone they know who has made a great contribution to our Town. And then please nominate them by visiting the Town Council’s website and completing the nomination form online.”
Details of each category and the nomination form can be found on the Town Council’s website at Shrewsbury Town Council's website.
The closing date for completed entries is 12.30pm on Friday 4th April.
