NOMINATIONS for the Rockdale Citizen of the Year will open on Tuesday, September 1.
Also open will be the Young Citizen of the Year and Sportsperson of the Year awards.
Volunteer Girl Guides leader Yvonne Holcroft won the overall award last year for her work with young women.
"I was completely shocked," she said at the time.
"I felt very humble that someone would think that highly of me."
The awards will be presented at Rockdale Council's Australia Day celebrations on Tuesday, January 26.
Nominations close at 4.30pm on Friday, October 23.
Nominations forms are available from council's customer service centre, council libraries and on its website rockdale.nsw.gov.au
