For 9 years, QBANK have proudly recognised and celebrated the efforts of our Everyday Heroes and the tireless work that they do in our community, but we need your help...
The awards are a way in which QBANK can say thank you to our Member Communities that go above and beyond, and reward their vital role within our community. Six category winners will each receive $2,000 cash deposited into a QBANK account and $2,000 donated to a nominated charity, per award category.
To be eligible for the Everyday Heroes Awards, the nominated person must be over 18 and a government employee (Local/State/Federal) residing in Queensland and be employed in a job that is principally concerned with the administration of justice and protection of life/property. To be eligible for the Young Everyday Hero Award, the nominee must be aged 12 to 17 and reside in Queensland. Volunteers and Student Volunteers are also encouraged to apply. This includes SES, Surf Life Saving, and other protection and rescue services.
Any member of the public can put forward a nominee for the QBANK Everyday Heroes Awards, including one for themselves, providing they are eligible for the awards.
The QBANK Everyday Heroes Awards is a great opportunity to say thank you to someone who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help your community. It is a chance to shine the spotlight on the great work of the unsung heroes in our community who deserve recognition for their efforts.
Each category winner will receive $2,000 cash deposited into a QBANK account and $2,000 donated to a chosen charity per category.
Each nomination is reviewed by QBANK and allocated to one of six awards categories including Dedication, Ownership, Achievement, Excellence, Working Together and the Young Hero Award. Finalists for each category are sent to the Judging panel.
Award recipients are selected by seven highly respected judges who have proven track records of professional commitment and community dedication, commonly through fundraising and charity work, supporting the vulnerable or disadvantaged, mentoring and leadership or spreading community awareness.
