Call for Nominations: 2025 Stewart Award for Dedication to Angus Youth
Stewart Award
The Stewart Award recognises the outstanding voluntary contribution made by individuals who support and strengthen the Angus Youth Program.
The Angus Youth Program would not be possible without the generosity, dedication, and enthusiasm of its volunteers. Their willingness to give time, energy, and guidance plays a vital role in creating opportunities for young people and ensuring the continued strength of the Angus breed and broader beef industry.
About the Award
Originally established in 2001 as the Angus Youth Helper of the Year Award, the award was later renamed the Stewart Award in honour of Bruce and Pat Stewart of Dunlop Park Angus, Tasmania.
Bruce and Pat Stewart contributed selflessly to the Angus Youth Program over many years. In particular, they were tireless supporters of the Angus Youth National Judging Competition, travelling annually to Wodonga to assist with every aspect of the event. Their contribution extended well beyond logistics, including transporting participants, managing lunches, assisting with judging materials, and most importantly, offering encouragement, guidance, and mentorship to young people.
Their commitment, generosity, and quiet leadership exemplified the spirit of volunteerism that underpins the Angus Youth Program. It is with great sadness that Angus Australia acknowledges the passing of Pat Stewart, and we extend our sincere condolences to her family, friends, and the Tasmanian Angus community.
Award Criteria and Presentation
The Stewart Award is presented to an individual, or individuals, who have made an outstanding voluntary contribution to the Angus Youth Program.
Recipients are selected by the Angus Youth Consultative Committee based on their commitment, impact, and long-term support of young people within the program.
The recipient’s name is inscribed on the Stewart Award plaque, which is formally presented at the Angus Australia Annual General Meeting.
