Melbourne Awards

The Melbourne Awards 2008

Since 2003, the Melbourne Awards have celebrated the people and organisations whose vision and hard work shape our city. Highlighting these achievements inspires and challenges others to make their own contribution to creating a better future for Melbourne.

The awards honour a diverse range of contributions, focusing on the people and organisations who go above and beyond the call of duty.

Winners are selected through an independent judging process, which gives entrants access to industry leaders and professionals who often become ambassadors for the achievements they witness.

In 2008, the year-long program will culminate in the presentation of a series of awards at the prestigious Gala Awards Ceremony on Melbourne Day, 30 August 2008.

An inspirational role model within the Melbourne Community will also be honoured at the Gala Awards Ceremony as ‘Melburnian of the Year’. The recipient will be selected by a committee of notable Melburnians.

Vision

To identify and celebrate significant contributions which shape the future of Melbourne and to communicate these achievements to inspire others.
