Young Peacemakers To Be Recognised

Do you know a young person in the Cowra Shire who demonstrates strong community leadership and embodies the ideals of peace? Well now’s the time to nominate them for the 2025 Cowra Youth Peace Award.

The biennial award is coordinated by Cowra’s World Peace Bell Association and seeks to recognise a young person who has served the community by making a sustained effort to help others.

“In our current world climate, it’s important to foster and recognise peaceful attitudes and actions within our own community, especially amongst our young people,” said Chair of the World Peace Bell Association, Cr Cheryl Downing.

“We hope that individuals and organisations working and living alongside these young people will consider nominating them for this award.

Nominating someone gives them wellearned recognition, and lets them know we appreciate what they do” Cr Downing said.

Online nomination forms can be completed on Council’s website – cowracouncil.com.au or can be collected from Cowra Council’s Customer Service Centre in Kendal Street.

Nominations close 5 September 2025 at 4PM with the awards to be announced at the Rotary World Peace Day dinner on Thursday, 19 September 19 2025.
