The Turkish Cypriot Community Achievers Awards aims to recognise and reward those individuals/organisations who have sustained consistent positive contribution within the Turkish Cypriot not for profit sector.

The 2019 awards will be featured for the following categories; Young Community Achiever Award, Community Achievement Award (Male), Community Achievement Award (Female), Charity of the year, Overseas Charity of the year, Lifetime achievement Award, Contribution to the Arts, Contribution to Education and youth, Contribution to Health, and Special Recognition for those within our community who have passed.

These awards will be an opportunity for organisations serving within the not for profit sector to nominate individuals.

Additionally, it will be an opportunity for individuals and organisations to be selected who have made an outstanding contribution to the Turkish Cypriot third sector through an independent ballot.

​

Due to the outbreak of the novel virus COVID-19, the 2019 awards have not proceeded to the voting stage. The 2020 awards will commence in the Autumn of this year. We look forward to seeing you there!
