Announced on Territory Day, 1 July, the Territorian of the Year Awards recognises Territorians who, by their industry, innovation and achievement, have made a substantial contribution to the opportunities and lifestyle of their fellow Territorians.

The Protocol Unit in the Department of the Chief Minister is responsible for managing special celebrations and events, including the Territorian of the Year Awards.

The Rural Young Achievers Awards
Managed by the Department of Resources, the Rural Young Achievers Award is presented as part of the Freds Pass Rural Show to recognise the talents and achievements of young people in rural industries and communities. Through the Rural Young Achievers Award, young people are encouraged to develop their skills in a range of areas relating to rural life and in public speaking.

Student Citizen Awards
The Student Citizen Awards, which are organised by the Australia Day Council in the NT, are sponsored by the Department of Education and Training.

The Awards recognise good citizenship, not just academic or sporting achievement and promote positive, achievable youth self-image. The Awards recognise the contributions that young people make to schools and the wider community and are a celebration of all young people.

The young people who receive this Award are selected by their schools. To find out more about the Student Citizen Awards, contact the Australia Day Council on telephone 8924 4204.
