The awards are given out to members of the community who volunteer their time to help enrich the lives of others.
The awards are held annually to mark the anniversary of Dubbo’s gazettal as a village on November 23, 1849.
Dubbo Regional Council mayor Ben Shields said the city has a proud history of people volunteering to help their community.

“Council is pleased to recognise those who are so generous with their time,” Councillor Shields said.
“It is no secret that without these selfless individuals, Dubbo would be a much poorer place. We all know someone who makes a great contribution and deserves credit for it.
“That is why it is important that people get their nominations in soon so they can be considered by our judging panel.”
Nominations will remain open until Monday, November 12, with the ceremony to take place on Friday, November 23, at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre’s Macquarie Auditorium.
A maximum of 20 awards are handed out each year with recipients selected by a committee of community members, who are all past recipients of a Dubbo Day Award, as well as the mayor.
Nominations can be made via council’s website, or printed off and returned to the Dubbo Regional Council Customer Service Centre, the Western Plains Cultural Centre, the Dubbo Branch of the Macquarie Regional Library and Connecting Community Services (formerly Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre). Hard copies of the form can also be collected from those locations.
