Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the awards recognised those who had shown a lifetime of dedication to the development of our state.
"I encourage Queenslanders to nominate a friend, colleague, family member, community leader or institution to acknowledge their remarkable contributions and commitment to Queensland,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
In 2015 the posthumous category was added to the awards to honour deceased individuals who made an exceptional impact on the state during their lifetime.
The late Steve Irwin was the inaugural recipient recognised for his passion and commitment to the wildlife conservation.
“Steve was a highly respected conservationist and business entrepreneur.
“It was incredibly fitting for Steve to have received the first award in this category.”
The 2016 Queensland Greats will be announced during Queensland Week celebrations, June 4 to 12.
