Each year more than 7,000 volunteers from our city show the strength of our community.

Every year we hold a volunteer’s award. We have been doing this since 1988 to acknowledge the outstanding contributions of individuals and organisations in our community.

We are looking for extraordinary people in our community who have helped make Logan a thriving and diverse city.

We are seeking nominations from the community to acknowledge the achievements of an individual resident or a volunteer-based organisation.

The following Awards are available:

• Frank Lenz Memorial Award for Volunteer of the Year
  Presented to an individual in recognition of outstanding contribution as a volunteer in the City of Logan.
• Davida Steele Memorial Award for an Outstanding Community Organisation
  Presented to a not-for-profit organisation, community group or program in recognition of their significant contribution to the community.
