About the Thame Town Awards

There are people all around Thame who help their neighbours, support local groups or go out of their way for others in their community. That is why in 2009, Thame Town Council launched Thame Town Awards as a way to recognise, thank and celebrate those special people who are working hard to make our community a safer, more vibrant and happier place to live.

Since the Town Awards launched, we have awarded many local individuals, organisations and businesses with a Town Award to acknowledge their contribution to the town.

How it works

Each year the Town Council invites members of the public to nominate someone in our community who they think deserves some recognition. Anyone can make a nomination, as long as the person or organisation being nominated lives, works or studies in Thame.

You can make your nominations here or learn more about the award categories here.
