ACT Equestrian Association (ACTEA) proudly hosts its annual event, the ACTEA Annual Awards. This highly anticipated gathering aims to honour the remarkable individuals who have made significant contributions to the world of equestrian sport in the ACT and surrounding regions.
At the heart of the ACTEA Annual Awards is the ACTEA Outstanding Service Award. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon those who have demonstrated exceptional acts of service to equestrian pursuits in our region. Whether their efforts have been focused on a single club or spread across multiple organisations over the years, these individuals truly deserve recognition. It's important to note that nominees for this award need not necessarily be financial members of any specific club or association, but rather members of the community who have freely dedicated their time to support equestrian sport.
Another noteworthy award is the ACTEA Encouragement Award to Young Horseperson of the Year. This esteemed recognition aims to celebrate the achievements of our promising young equestrians. Eligible individuals must be under 26 years of age on the 31st of December in the year of the award and be financial members of the nominating affiliate. The winner of this award needs to have actively participated in equestrian activities, particularly in competitions, while displaying exceptional sportsmanship both within the competitive realm and during club events. Additionally, they should have made notable contributions to equestrian organisations in the ACT and surrounding region. As a testament to the significance of this award, an impressive prize awaits the recipient.
In addition to these individual awards, ACTEA also takes the opportunity to express gratitude towards members of our community who have selflessly offered their time to support ACT equestrian sport. Through their unwavering dedication and commitment, they have truly made a lasting impact within our sporting community.
As the nominations for these awards close on the 30th of April, we strongly encourage all interested parties to submit their nominations promptly. This is your chance to acknowledge and appreciate those who have devoted their time, energy, and passion to equestrian sport in the ACT and surrounding regions. Let us join together in recognising their outstanding contributions and celebrating their achievements at the ACTEA Annual Awards.
