Australia Day 2009 nominations
Do you know someone who you think is worthy of an Australia Day nomination? Or is there a local organisation or community event that stands out for you as being worthy of a nomination? Then we want you to put pen to paper and fill in a nomination form for the Australia Day 2009 Awards.
Australia Day is a day to celebrate what it means to be Australian. Last year, Australia Day throughout Strathbogie Shire was bigger than ever. Longwood will be the host of the Shire wide awards in 2009. Celebrations will also be held in the various communities throughout the Shire.
The closing date for nominations to be received by local Australia Day Committees is 14 November 2008. Nomination forms are available from your local Committee Members, by downloading from the Strathbogie Shire website - www.strathbogie.vic.gov.au or by contacting Sarah Burghardt-Smyth, Grants Coordinator at the Council office in Euroa.
The three categories include:
- Citizen of the Year (over 27 years of age at 26/1/09);
- Community event/Organisation of the year;
- Young Citizen of the Year (under 27 years of age at 26/01/09).
