Active Agers of the Year

The Active Agers Awards, which replaces Senior Citizens' Awards, is created to recognise and honour seniors aged 60 years or above who have a zest for life and who embrace the lifestyle of active ageing . They work, volunteer, look after grandchildren, study or play, and continue to grow in the different aspects of their lives, and want to share their life experiences with others as ambassadors for active ageing and active living.

How to nominate
The Council hopes to find everyday people who epitomise Active Agers to serve as accessible role models for the man-in-the-street. Members of the public who know someone who fits into the active ager description can put in their nominations. Nomination forms are available at C3A office, as well as online at www.activeageingfestival.com.sg/awards

For enquiries, members of the public can email awards@activeageingfestival.com.sg or call C3A at 63580333 to obtain a copy of the nomination form.

Attractive prizes for winners
Five ‘Active Agers of the Year' who best epitomise active ageing will be awarded and each will receive up to $5,000 worth of prizes. Their nominators stand to win $500 worth of prizes too. The results will be announced at a gala event held at The Arena, Clarke Quay on Saturday, 1 December 2007 .
