NOMINATIONS are being called for Western Australians who have helped minority groups participate more fully in our society.
Those nominations will be put towards the 2005 Multicultural Awards.
Nominations are invited from individuals and community organisations in WA.
There are two categories:
The Multicultural Ambassador’s Award which recognises the contribution of one adult and one young person in promoting multiculturalism and eliminating racism; and
The Multicultural Community Service Award which recognises excellence and innovation in enhancing access to and equity in service provision and empowering minority communities.
The awards will be presented during Harmony Week from March 13 to 21 next year.
Nominations must be received by January 28 and forms can be obtained at www.omi.wa.gov.au or by phoning 9222 8800.
