Youth awards open for nominations

Do you know a young person aged 12 to 25 years that is making a significant contribution to the Moorabool community?
The 2019 Moorabool Shire Council Youth Awards nominations are now open.
This year’s categories include Significant Achievement, Significant Community Service, Overcoming Significant Adversity, a Mayoral Award and Young Achiever Award.
Previous winners include Nathan Borg, a profoundly deaf actor and model, and Shannon Craggill, a State-level cyclist.
“We really encourage the community to nominate a worthy youth for an award,” said Moorabool Mayor Paul Tatchell.
“These awards are a great way to reward youth for making a significant contribution to our community and establishing themselves as future leaders in a variety of fields,” he said.
The awards will be presented at a ceremony in late April 2019 as part of Moorabool’s Youth Month.
Nomination forms must be completed and returned to Council by 5pm on Friday 1 March 2019.
If a nominee is under 18 years of age, they must have parent or guardian permission to nominate.
Nomination forms can be found at https://www.moorabool.vic.gov.au/news/awarding-our-youth, or the Ballan and Bacchus Marsh Council offices.
