Vabimo vse organizacije in posameznike, da izberejo imena zaslužnih ljudi, vrednih takega priznanja in jih pošljejo na “Slovenian Community Awards Committee” pri Klubu Triglav. Odbor je sestavljen iz zastopnikov vseh slovenskih organizacij v NSW in člani odbora bodo skupno izbrali, kateri od predlaganih kandidatov najbolj zaslužijo priznanja skupnosti.

Slovenian Community
of the Year Awards
It was in the year 2002 when the first proposal was made at the club Triglav Panthers to implement a program which would recognise and reward present and future outstanding Australian Slovenians for their exceptional work in various categories in NSW and ACT. The idea started with a group of younger generation of committee members of the Triglav Panthers club, under the leadership of Walter Šuber, supported by Danica Šajn and other members of the club's committee. Soon it was supported by other young members of the wider Slovenian community such as Dorothy Kobal, Danica Gerželj and Tania Smrdel.
The Slovenian National Day was proposed as the most suitable day for the honours to be awarded. The first Slovenian of the Year Awards were celebrated in a ceremony at Triglav Panthers club on Sunday, June 30, 2002.
A judging panel, chosen from the representatives of all Slovenian organisations of NSW and ACT, was responsible for selecting the winners from the proposed list of nominees. The awards, sponsored by Triglav Panthers, were given for the previous year's work, that is for year 2001.
Beautiful plaques were awarded to each of the winners. And so, a new tradition was born and started amongst the Slovenian organisations in NSW and ACT.
In 2008, Branko Fabjančič was appointed President of the Slovenian of the Year Awards Committee, and new members were added to the judging panel.
The Slovenian Awards is now a very well recognized and respected event in the Slovenian community, receiving great support from Triglav Mounties and Mounties head office.
Over the past 14 years, one hundred and twelve Slovenians have been recognised for their achievements and their valuable contribution to the Slovenian - Australian community .
