Time is running out to make a nomination for the biennial Greater Shepparton Cultural Heritage Awards, with Greater Shepparton City Council on the lookout for outstanding examples of conservation work and research across the region.
In Summary
The Awards recognise outstanding contributions to cultural heritage conservation, research, education, promotion, interpretation, training and awareness-raising. They aim to honour individuals and organisations whose work has promoted and conserved the region’s diverse cultural heritage, while promoting examples of good conservation practice and guidance.
The 2025 Awards will be delivered by Greater Shepparton City Council, in association with the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee, with nominations open for the following categories:
Director Sustainable Development, Geraldine Christou, encouraged residents, community groups, schools and local organisations to consider making a nomination for one of the categories.
“In 2023 we received a fantastic response to the Awards, with a record number of nominations. We hope 2025 is the same and we strongly encourage people to consider making a nomination,” she said.
“Our region is home to many places of local, regional and state heritage significance and these awards aim to recognise the important community work which has been achieved in this space. There is a wide range of categories which ensures all heritage conservation work has an opportunity to be recognised.”
Nominations for the Greater Shepparton Cultural Heritage Awards 2025 close at 5.00pm on Friday 6 December 2024. Nominated work must relate to the five years prior to the closing date. Entries can be nominated in more than one category, with a separate nomination form for each category.
Information brochures are available at a range of locations including historical societies and museums, Greater Shepparton libraries and Council’s Welsford Street office.
The 2025 Cultural Heritage Awards will be awarded at a ceremony to be held on Saturday 10 May 2025, presented by Council and the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee.
