Nominations open for youth awards

Published on 06 July 2018

Council is calling for nominations for its annual Youth Awards, which celebrate and recognise the achievements of young people in the shire.

All young people in the Macedon Ranges, along with their families, friends, teachers, neighbours, employers or colleagues, are encouraged to put forward a nomination.

Nominations will be accepted for anyone aged 12-25 years in the Macedon Ranges who deserves recognition for their efforts in the arts, sport, at school or in their community.

Mayor, Cr Jennifer Anderson encouraged young people to get involved.

“Young people are such an important part of our community and a nomination shines a light on both the contributions they make and the individuals who make them,” she said.

“The Youth Awards are a great opportunity to recognise the talents and achievements of young people, and help to promote inclusive and connected communities in our shire.”

Nominations close on Sunday 29 July and winners will be announced at the Youth Awards presentation night on Tuesday 28 August at Kyneton Town Hall.

Award categories and nomination packs are available at: Youth or can be picked up from Council service centres in Gisborne, Kyneton, Romsey and Woodend.
