Your 2011 Deadlys Nominees

Back in June, we put the call out for you to tell us who’s deadly in 2011, and we received thousands of nominations from all over the nation. Follow the links below to read all about your Deadlys’ finalists.

The Deadlys class of 2011 is an amazingly talented and inspirational bunch – high achievers in music, sport, health, education, broadcasting and the arts. But alas, there can only be one winner on the night, and so now it’s back to you, the community, to decide who’ll walk away with a Deadly come September 27.

Happy voting you mob – and congratulations to all of this year’s truly deserving nominees.
