Celebrating the best of us!

Know someone in the community who is deserving to have the spotlight shone on them and the work they do for our community. Someone who needs to be shouted from the rooftop, or someone that just needs a little thanks for the small things they do. Nothing is too big or small to nominate. Its time to celebrate the best of our community and thank those who do the hard mahi who make this place, the best place to live in Dunedin. 

The Award

Members of the community are welcome to nominate a community member who does good in our community. This can be done by pushing the 'Nominate you Good Sort allsort here!' button. Once your nomination has been sent through you will receive an email letting you know the next steps. Your application is reviewed by a team of 'volunteer superstar judges'. To make their job easier be sure to include as much detail as possible, this makes the job of the judges easier to do. 

What does the Good Sort allsort get? 

• A certificate thanking them for what they do for the community,
• A packet of RJ's Licorice allsorts,
• An interview for the Valley Voice which celebrates what they have done for their community and the great work they do, 
• Celebration across our social media channels (only if they want),
