The search is on for individuals, businesses and community groups that are making a difference across Greater Shepparton through the annual Victorian Regional Achievement & Community Awards.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem, invites all residents to consider nominating an individual, business or group that is helping to reshape and inspire our community.
"If you know someone that has provided support and made a real difference in your life, why not give them a pat on the back and nominate them for an award. It would be great for our community contributors to be showcased in these Awards” said Mayor Adem.
Nominations are now open in the following categories:
Category winners will each receive $2,000 into an account in their name from the Bank of Melbourne or an airtime package on PRIME7.
