They are presented annually to community volunteers who have not previously received a National or State Government recognition Award. The Menorah Awards Committee assesses each nomination and may seek additional information and\/or clarification, either from the nominator or other sources, before advising successful candidates of the outcome of its deliberations.<\/p>\n<p>The Menorah Awards seek to recognise impact, not simply longevity of volunteer service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Applications close 16 August 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eligibility:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Menorah Awards will be presented to individuals who have performed voluntary work which has had an impact on either the organisation or the community, usually over a long period.<\/li>\n<li>Recipients will usually be members of the Jewish community. Members of other faiths, who have contributed significantly in relation to the Jewish community, may also be considered.<\/li>\n<li>Individuals who have received a National or State Government Recognition Award such as an OAM are NOT eligible.<\/li>\n<li>Nominators will be asked to suggest two referees that the Committee may consult. All nominations will be handled confidentially.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Judging Criteria:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All nominations will be considered by the Menorah Awards Committee. Awards will be offered to individuals who:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>have impacted religious, educational and social welfare by their communal work, for which they have not previously been recognised, and<\/li>\n<li>have performed such work on a voluntary basis, usually over a considerable period of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Committee will assess each nomination in the frame of the above criteria. Whilst the committee may seek additional information and\/or clarification either from the nominator or other sources, it is essential that the material provided in the nomination form is as complete and detailed as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>General:<\/strong><br \/>\nNominators are asked to NOT inform nominees that they are being considered for an Award until after the selection process is complete.<\/p>\n<p>Nominators of successful candidates will be asked to make a presentation, including reading a citation about the candidate for presentation at the Awards Ceremony in November 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Menorah Awards annually recognise the services to the community of volunteers who have given of themselves over long periods of time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4191,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"projectcategory":[4],"class_list":["post-3262","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","projectcategory-scholarships-and-awards"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.1 -
