Nominate a Queensland Great today

Premier Anna Bligh has announced the launch of the 2012 Queensland Greats Awards.

"Each year during Queensland Week celebrations, the Queensland Government, through this prestigious awards program, honours proud individuals and distinguished institutions that have shown a lifetime dedication and contribution to the development of Queensland," Ms Bligh said.

"Since the announcement of the first Queensland Greats in 2001, we have recognised outstanding individuals from a variety of fields and pursuits, such as immunologist Professor Peter Doherty AC (2003), Queensland's first female Governor Leneen Forde AC (2007) and rugby league legend Wally Lewis AM (2011).

"Iconic institutions such as Mater Misericordiae Health Services (2006), Surf Life Saving Queensland (2007) and the Queensland State Emergency Service (2011) have also been recognised since the inception of the Institution award in 2006.

"Queensland Week is a time to recognise and celebrate our great strengths and achievements and I urge all Queenslanders to nominate a friend, colleague, family member, community leader or institution that has made a significant contribution to our state," Ms Bligh said.

The 2012 Queensland Greats will be announced during Queensland Week celebrations, 2 - 11 June 2012.

Nomination forms are available online at www.queenslandweek.qld.gov.au or by calling 07 3405 5215.

Nominations close at 5 pm on Friday 9 March 2012.
