Nominations open for Wannon Sport and Volunteer Awards

WANNON federal member Dan Tehan is calling for nominations for the 2024 Wannon Sport and Volunteer Awards.

The Sport Awards recognise and highlight exceptional sporting performances, achievements and contributions by community members across the electorate, while the Volunteer Awards recognise and celebrate individual and group volunteers whose selfless dedication, generosity of spirit and outstanding contributions have made a significant difference in the lives of others.

“Recognising community sporting achievements and community volunteering is essential to fostering a culture of appreciation and continued involvement in both spheres, across Wannon,” Mr Tehan said.

‘It’s important that we take the time to acknowledge people’s accomplishments in and contributions to our communities, as their efforts play a pivotal role in enabling rural communities to thrive.”

Nominators for the Wannon Sports Awards are invited to nominate an individual or team in the following categories:

• Primary School – Individual or Team Achievement

Nominators for the Volunteer Awards are invited to nominate an individual or group in the following categories:

“These awards are a highlight of my calendar,” Mr Tehan said.

“They recognise both our high achievers and our unsung heroes.”
