Having run out of volunteers the Vision Group for Sidmouth will no longer be running its Awards and this website has been archived.

If you are interested in taking on the Sidmouth Transition Town project 'Sustainable Sidmouth' and/or running the Awards please contact us through the contacts page.

What are we about and what do we hope to achieve?

The Sustainable Sidmouth Champions Awards was first considered in late 2020 – in the middle of the pandemic:

How did this all begin? – Sustainable Sidmouth Champion Awards

The Awards were launched in spring 2021 – with the following objectives at their heart:

  • The Awards will celebrate the role local people have played in our community by going out of their way to offer help or support.
  • This past year has obviously been very tough for all and we feel that it’s important to recognise these contributions .
  • We want to engage as many residents as possible in these awards and make it a really important, inclusive local event.

The organisers of the Awards then asked the wider Sidmouth community:

  • to nominate an individual, a business or a group who you feel deserves recognition,
  • to share this information as widely as possible,
  • and to join us in congratulating all those who get nominated.

What are the three award categories?

Sustainability:
a focus on green issues

Resilience:
a focus on business adaptability

Community:
a focus on community efforts

With the How to Nominate page giving further details – closed for nominations as of 30 September 2021.
