Nominations for Red Stripe’s ‘Suh Wi Dweet – Everyday Hero Award’ has been extended by just over a week to October 20.

The original closing date for nominations was last Tuesday (October 10). The ‘Suh Wi Dweet – Everyday Hero Award’ is part of the beer brand’s commemoration of National Heroes’ Day, which will be celebrated on October 16.

The initiative is a heartfelt tribute to the unsung heroes of Jamaica, who tirelessly uplift their communities and is perfectly aligned with the celebration of Heroes’ Day, providing communities across the nation with a platform to nominate and celebrate their everyday heroes. 

The nomination process is open to everyone and has been created to be accessible and straightforward. Anyone who is 18 years of age or older can nominate someone who has made a commendable contribution to their community for the award. 

The winner will be showcased on Red Stripe’s billboard and radio advertisements. Additionally, the winner will be awarded J$100,000 in cash. To participate, eligible members of the public must visit Red Stripe’s website and submit a brief paragraph explaining why they want to honour the individual as a hero, highlighting their exceptional contributions.

In addition, they must also upload a recent, recognizable photo of their community hero and provide their full name, contact information, and social media handles, if applicable.

Red Stripe’s ‘Suh Wi Dweet’ campaign celebrates moments that bring Jamaicans together through culture, sport, music, food, and everyday experiences.
