Feb 21 - Public Encouraged to Submit Mayor’s Award Scheme Recommendations
As announced last year by His Worship the Mayor, the scope of the Mayor’s Award Scheme has been widened.
The Scheme, which until last year only recognised persons who had saved a life or who had participated in any life-saving rescue operation or act of bravery, now encompasses persons or groups who have served Gibraltar in exceptional or voluntary service over a prolonged period of time.
His Worship, who is keen to encourage public participation in the Awards Scheme, invites Members of the Public to submit recommendations in order to ensure that the Committee under the Mayor’s Chairmanship is able to select from the widest possible field.
When considering recommendations for a Mayor’s Award, due note is taken by the Committee of the provisions of the Gibraltar Medallion of distinction which is awarded by the Gibraltar Parliament and of awards granted by the Royal Humane Society. Any recommendation concerning outstanding gallantry or achievement which, in the opinion of the committee, could merit such Awards will be referred to the relevant body for their consideration.
Recommendations, in writing, should be submitted before the 14th March 2014 to ‘The Secretary, Mayor’s Awards Committee, Ministry of Culture, 310 Main Street, Gibraltar’.
