A search is underway to find Witney’s Outstanding Citizen of the Year.

Recognised at the Mayor’s Civic Reception, the award honours individuals who have gone above and beyond to help their community, often on a voluntary basis.

Judges are seeking nominations for individuals who have shown selfless service to a voluntary organisation or the community.

There is no age limit, but nominees must live or work in Witney.

Relatives, friends, neighbours, and colleagues are encouraged to nominate someone special for the prestigious title or for other awards.

These include a Certificate of Outstanding Merit, Outstanding Commitment to Public Service, and Outstanding Contribution.

Witney Town Council is seeking individuals who have provided exemplary service, whether paid or unpaid, and have made a significant difference to the community.

The winners will be celebrated at the Mayor’s Civic Reception in March next year.

The reception, a highlight of the Mayor’s term, honours some of the town’s best attributes and musical entertainment from local groups.

The event is open to specially invited guests, including the award-winning citizens and their friends and family.

Nominations for the awards must be submitted by Sunday, January 12, 2025.

Nomination forms can be found on the town council’s website or can be obtained by contacting the town hall.
