The Melbourne Awards celebrate the people and organisations whose vision and hard work shapes our city.
Now in it’s 10th year, the Melbourne Awards honour a diverse range of contributions, focusing on individuals, community organisations and corporations who give their time selflessly for the benefit of our city. Highlighting these achievements inspires and challenges others to make their own contribution to creating a better future for Melbourne.
Three areas have been indentified by the City of Melbourne as vital elements for securing Melbourne’s future as a thriving, forward thinking capital city. The awards honour significant contributions to Melbourne’s profile, community and sustainability. Within each of these areas, winners will be recognised within three separate divisions resulting in a total of nine award categories.
Winners are selected through an independent judging process, giving entrants access to industry leaders and professionals who often become ambassadors for the achievements they witness.
An inspirational role model within the Melbourne community will also be honoured as the ‘Melburnian of the Year’. The recipient will be selected by a committee of notable Melburnians appointed by the Lord Mayor.
In 2012, the program will culminate in the presentation of awards at a prestigious Gala Awards Ceremony at Melbourne Town Hall on Saturday 18 August.
