Does our volunteer involving organisation or community group need to be nominated to enter?

Are volunteers able to nominate themselves for volunteer awards?
Volunteers do need to be nominated by the volunteer-involving organisation, community group that they are volunteering with, or other members of public. For volunteers that are volunteering with multiple organisations or community groups, please list these as much as you know and we will follow up with the volunteer.

It can be confusing knowing which category you need to nominate in. If you’d like some guidance, the friendly organising team at Volunteer South can have a chat with you about what category would best suit. Contact awards@volunteersouth.org.nz or call 03 471 6206.
How many awards can I nominate in?
You can nominate any volunteer programme, volunteer-involving organisation, community group, or an individual volunteer in as many awards as you would like.
Is there a cost to entering the awards?
There is no cost to enter the Volunteer Awards or attend the Volunteer Awards Ceremony.
When will the finalists be announced?
