The awards recognise senior citizens who make significant contributions to their communities and nominations are open until February 27.

Kiama MP Gareth Ward has encouraged anybody who knows a senior worthy of recognition to not hesitate in nominating them.

"We are inviting anyone who knows a senior who deserves recognition for their role in the community to nominate them for an award," he said.

"We want to recognise them for their talents, skills and generosity. These awards really do showcase the enormous talent there is among seniors in our community."

The awards will be announced during NSW Seniors Week, which runs from March 14-22.
