It’s that time again for nominations to be made to Bovey Tracey Town Council from Bovey Tracey and Heathfield residents for this year’s Bovey Tracey Community Awards.
The four Awards are Community Champion 2025, Young Citizen of the Year 2025, Environmental Champion 2025, and Honorary Representative of the Lord of the Manor of Bovey Tracey 2025. The nomination process and Awards qualification criteria are available via the links below:
Nomination criteria and application to nominate
Nominations can be for individuals, voluntary groups or businesses that have made unselfish and highly valued contributions of their time to help those in need and meet the criteria for being nominated for the particular Award. Those nominated must agree in advance to being nominated, and under 18s must have parental or guardian approval.
A panel of councillors and community representatives will select the winner of the first above mentioned three Awards while Town Councillors will choose the Honorary Representative of the Lord of the Manor from public nominations received.
Residents, voluntary group colleagues, visitors or customers with a good experience or knowledge of the nominee’s activities are invited to make the nominations, preferably on-line, although paper submissions will be accepted if the proposer and seconder cannot access a suitable electronic device for that purpose, in which they can ask the Town Clerk's office (Tel: 01626 834217) to provide a paper form for them.
The deadline for submitting nominations is Monday 3rd March. The winner will be announced at the Annual Town Meeting to be held in the Riverside Community Centre on Wednesday 26th March.
Award winners in the past have expressed both surprise and gratitude that their endeavours in the Parish have been publicly appreciated and recognised, so, if you know someone (or small group) you feel is worthy of nomination, please do not hesitate to submit their name(s) to Bovey Tracey Town Council (after all, we all appreciate good news). If you need help or guidance with this, please contact the Town Council as above or by email to info@boveytracey.gov.uk.
