Westfield Local Heroes 2025 nominations now open
Westfield Local Heroes is a recognition and awards program that shines a spotlight on the individuals and organisations in Australia and New Zealand who make a positive impact to their local community or environment.
How it works:
1. Nominate
Community members nominate their Westfield Local Hero by filling in an online nomination form.
2. Vote
Nominations are assessed by our selection panels against set criteria to create a shortlist of three finalists per Westfield destination. These three finalists per Westfield destination are promoted, and communities are invited to vote for their preferred hero.
3. Celebrate
The successful Westfield Local Hero with the highest number of community votes for each Westfield destination will be announced and awarded a $20,000 grant for the organisation they represent. Finalists receive a $5,000 grant for their organisation.
If you have been nominated in the program and have any questions, contact us at [email protected].
For full details of the program such as criteria, FAQs and Terms and Conditions, visit the Westfield Local Heroes website.
