Fifty lucky cit­i­zens will win a op­por­tu­ni­ty to at­tend this year's Na­tion­al Awards cer­e­mo­ny and rub shoul­ders with the who's who of Trinidad and To­ba­go.

And you can be one of those cit­i­zens.

All you need to do is com­plete an en­try form and drop it off at any of six se­lect­ed Massy Stores out­lets in Trinidad or all the Pen­ny Savers lo­ca­tions in To­ba­go.

The dead­line for sub­mis­sions is mid­night on Wednes­day.

"Tra­di­tion­al­ly, on­ly of­fice­hold­ers iden­ti­fied on the Ta­ble of Prece­dence, Diplo­mats, guests of the Pres­i­dent and the Prime Min­is­ter, as well as the awardees and their guests have been in­vit­ed," the en­try form states.

"This year, in re­sponse to a re­quest from a mem­ber of the pub­lic and on recog­ni­tion of the 50th An­niver­sary of the Na­tion­al Awards, 50 cit­i­zens are be­ing in­vit­ed to the cer­e­mo­ny on Re­pub­lic Day. You can be one of those cit­i­zens," it added.

En­try forms are lo­cat­ed at Massy Stores Ari­ma, Ch­agua­nas, French Street, Mara­bel­la, Point Fortin or West Mall and all Pen­ny Savers lo­ca­tions in To­ba­go.

The rules for par­tic­i­pat­ing are that en­trants must be 18 and a cit­i­zen of T&T in pos­ses­sion of valid iden­ti­fi­ca­tion.

Win­ners are sub­ject to a se­cu­ri­ty back­ground check be­fore in­vi­ta­tions will be is­sued.

In­vi­ta­tions will be is­sued in the name of the win­ner on­ly and are non-trans­fer­able

"Trans­porta­tion and oth­er lo­gis­tics as­so­ci­at­ed with at­tend­ing the Awards are the re­spon­si­bil­i­ty of the win­ners," the en­try form states.
