“When a person, community organisation, or business goes the extra mile and uplifts others, that effort deserves to be recognised. The MTM Awards were created to do just that — honouring those who make a real difference in our communities. Nominating someone for an MTM Award is more than a gesture; it’s a celebration of their story, their passion, and their impact. Finalists are invited to a night like no other — the MTM Glittering Gala Award Evening — where winners receive a stunning, custom-designed, hand-crafted trophy, engraved with their name and achievement. It’s the highest form of appreciation and recognition.”
