This year will be no different, with Leeton shire's official ceremony on Australia Day morning to honour those who were nominated this year, with the winners of each category also set to be announced.
This year's nominees cover a broad range of residents from all kinds of different backgrounds and ages.
The one thing they all have in common is their love of the community and their willingness to push themselves and those around them to succeed and be the very best they can be.
