To help you get started writing your nomination, here is an example of an answer that provides a great amount of information.
At 22 years Christina is an outstanding young dancer and shares her passion for the arts with the community of Darwin, particularly through the NT Youth Ballet Company. Since 13 Christina has won overall best dancer in the Darwin Eisteddfod, and in 2002 obtained first place in the National Ballet Eisteddfod held in Perth. Christina has been accepted into the Australian Ballet Company but has decided to stay in Darwin to teach dance to the youth of the top end.
Throughout her training she has faced the isolation of being a ballet dancer along way from the big companies based in the southern states. She worked two part time jobs to raise the funds to travel south each Christmas to undertake intensive classes. Christina is the lead dancer for the NT Youth Ballet Company and has recently choreographed two short ballets.
Christina was the driving force behind a tour to Tenant Creek and to Alice Springs in September last year and she is planning a tour to Alice Springs again this year. Christina is not only an exceptional dancer, she is committed to building the arts community in Darwin. All of Christina's work with the NT Youth Ballet has been voluntary. I estimate that she has spent at least 20 hours per week for the past four years working with the younger dancers in the company.
Christina shows that the arts are alive and well in remote Australia. She continues to combine her talents and passion for the arts to promote dance in the top end. Through my son, who is a member of the NT Youth Ballet Company, I can see that she has changed the lives of many young people in Darwin. She has given them the opportunity to express themselves in dance and the company has grown as a result of her involvement.
All of the members and parents are inspired by her passion drive and great skill as a leader and as a dancer. She is a role model to her younger dancers and I believe to all of those associated with the company. Christina has turned her isolation into an advantage and is sharing her passion with the people of the Northern Territory. She is an outstanding young Australian.
