Finalists for the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards 2018 have just been released and I’m incredibly honoured to be selected as one of three finalists for the Young Legend Award.

The Young Legend Award honours an outstanding volunteer who is aged under 18, who has demonstrated remarkable leadership and outreach, in his or her community, through work in one or more of the following areas; litter prevention, waste reduction, recycling promotion and community beautification.

The next step in the awards process is the winners announcement, at the Beautiful Awards Gala Dinner, in Auckland, on Friday 26 October. The Beautiful Awards celebrate environmental excellence and recognise positive actions taken by communities, businesses, schools, individuals and councils, in local and urban areas to protect and enhance their local environments.

Thanks to YOU, my family, friends and teachers from Burnside High School for your ongoing support and the nomination for this award. You are all the real legends! 💚
