The finalists of the Geelong Refinery Club Legend Awards have now been announced, with voting open for the People\u2019s Choice Awards.
\nNow in their third year, the awards look to recognise those who dedicate their time and energy to help their sporting clubs and the people within their clubs.
\nViva Energy are sponsoring the award, and their general manager of refining Thys Heyns said he was thrilled by the influx of nominations this year.
\n\u201cIt is fantastic to not only see a growth in nominations in the Award\u2019s this year, but also that there is a great pool of nominees across ages, sports and locations around the Geelong community,\u201d Heyns said.
\n\u201cWhat makes these awards really special is that we get the community\u2019s direct involvement through the People\u2019s Choice Awards. We want everyone to have a say in who they feel are the heroes in our community.\u201d
\nLast year the award was won by Barwon Soccer club president David Rea.
\nRea not only founded the club, but proceeded to serve it in many different capacities. The club now has over 500 members.
\nThis year sees the introduction of female categories, and trailblazer categories, the latter being for people under 35.
\nSeveral of this years nominees are from the Bellarine and Surf Coast regions.
\nFC Leopold’s Rick Scade and Special Olympics, Barwon’s Fred Forssman are nominated for the Male Club Legend Award.
\nWhile Ocean Grove Football Netball Club’s Jesse Sutton is among the finalists for the Female Trailblazer Award, and Drysdale Football Club’s Michael Trewhella among those for the Male Trailblazer Award.
\nThere is a combined prize cash-pool of $55,000 across the categories, some of which will go to the winners and some of which will go to their respective clubs.
\nAll the finalists from the various categories can be voted for in the People\u2019s Choice Awards.
\nVoting closes Thursday August 22, with the various winners being announced on Wednesday September 4.
