- Final Call For Nominations
There’s just one week left to nominate the people and organisations who make Knox a stronger, safer and more connected community.
Nominations for the 2026 Knox Community Awards close this Sunday 15 March, with categories recognising:
• Knox Volunteer of the Year
• Knox Community Organisation of the Year
• Recognition of Years of Service.
These awards shine a light on the everyday contributions that often go unseen. This is the moment to acknowledge the people who show up, step in and make a difference. Winners will be announced during National Volunteer Week at a ceremony on Wednesday 20 May.
