About V Awards

V Awards is a project initiated by the IYV+10 National Steering Committee in collaboration with News 1st as this year marks the 10th anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers [IYV+10]. The concept behind this project is to honour individuals who make extraordinary and selfless contributions to society. It is a noted fact, that Sri Lanka lacks a solid platform which recognizes the enormous contributions made by volunteers to the economy and society at large. V Awards aims to fill this void. This initiative is designed to recognize and reward the most outstanding volunteer contributions at a national level.
