Possible nominees would likely have spent many years giving up their time to make a difference, sometimes behind the scenes, and we’d love to hear about them. Categories for consideration include those who have given their time making a difference in areas like the environment, social services, education, youth and culture. 

Sporting achievements aren’t included as these are covered by the Porirua Sports Awards.

PLEASE COME BACK HERE EARLY IN 2022 FOR THAT YEAR'S AWARDS RUN-DOWN.

If you know someone who fits the bill then please keep in mind our nominations process opening in March next year.

Here is our 2021 Guide to give you an idea about the type of information we look for. 

If you have any queries, please contact enquiries@poriruacity.govt.nz or phone (04) 237 5089.
