Nominations Now Open!

Monday, 30 July 2012 16:01

Nominations are now open for Round 16 of the LyriK Awards! We have already recognised some pretty amazing young people in our community so far this year however, for this round we are set to recognise even more. LyriK has now increased the age for nominations to 18 years old which means that any young person between the ages of 10 and 18 years old can now be nominated for, and win, a LyriK Award!

Due to the age range changes, there have also been some changes to the way that you nominate a young person. We will now have two age groups for each category (10-14 year olds and 15-18 year olds) which will now mean that we have 2 winners for each award...effectively doubing the amount of young people that we can recognise for their positive contribution! New nomination forms have been designed and printed and will start showing up around the comunity soon, however we haven't had a chance to change the nominating process online as yet. So, if you are choosing to nominate online (either via the online form or the downladable word doc) please indicate the age of the young person in the additional comments section. This will be updated very soon, but we will appreciate your co-operation with this in the mean time.

Aside from that, the nomination process remains largely the same. So with nominations closing 2nd November 2012, what are you waiting for? Start nominating!

LyriK Awards - Round 15 Winners

Monday, 09 July 2012 10:50

Round 15 of the LyriK Awards was recently held on June 20th at the new Zone Youth Space. Around 100 people turned out to help us celebrate the achievements of young people in Kwinana and recognise the positive contribution they have made to our community. Despite some technical difficulties it was a fantastic night that showcased the achievements and talents of some of our young people. Along with the awards, there were performances from Julia Celiberti & Madison Forkin and Cristina Poad as well as some fantastic food that was made and catered by the staff and students at Bertram Primary School. On top of this, participants were fortunate enough to be inspired by the stories and achievements of Irene Carbone, a former Kwinana High student who among various achievements has gone on to be the director of the Lulu's.

21 nominations were received for Round 15 and as is becoming the trend, all the nominations were such a high standard! Congratulations to all the nominees for this round as you were all very deserving of your nomination, however only one person can win each category...and these young peope are:

Mateship Award - Jerry Zhang

Teamwork Award - The Bertram Primary Fundraising Group

Inspiration Award - Jai Hui Zhou

Achievement Award - John Garlett

Leadership Award - Julia Celiberti

Congratulations to our winners for Round 15! If you nominated a young person who didn't win an award this time then we strongly encourage you to nominate them again. As we mentioned, the standard of nominations was extremely high and all were deserving of winning.

Nominations for Round 16 will open on 30th July 2012. To nominate a young person all you need to do is complete and submit a nomination form and that young person could be one of our next group of winners!
