Heritage Heroes

Nominations for 2012 Heritage Heroes Awards are now open.

The Heritage Heroes awards recognise those volunteers who have made an outstanding contribution to the upkeep of our State’s heritage. This is an appropriate way to honour volunteers and their role in our community, conserving heritage for future generations to learn from and enjoy.

The public is encouraged to nominate individuals or groups who have made a significant effort to protect, record and celebrate our heritage. Community groups, individuals, heritage consultants and advisors, local councils, conservation and heritage organisations and government agencies are encouraged to apply.

Nominations are invited in three categories:

• Individual Heritage Volunteer
• Heritage Volunteer Group
• Youth Heritage Volunteer/Group

Nominations will close on Friday 27 April 2012.

The 2012 Heritage Heroes Awards will be presented by the Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Hon Paul Caica MP, on Thursday 24 May 2012 at 11:45am.

The SA Heritage Heroes program is a collaboration between the South Australian Heritage Council, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre at UniSA.
