National Awards for 2011...
Each year an important feature of the Sister Cities Australia Annual Conference is the National Awards Program. This program aims to encourage excellence and innovation in sister city activities, to develop a permanent information resource for members and to provide a forum for information exchange.
Entry into the National Awards is easy - there is an essential criteria for each category and any entry, no matter how small or simple, is encouraged. The three independent Judges' decisions are not made on how much money has been spent, or on how sophisticated the project has been, the Judges' decisions are based on how well each entry meets the criteria, as outlined category by category in the Handbook. Entrants are required to follow the essential criteria points as set out in the various categories, and in the order in which they appear.
