What is the Youth awards all about?
Young people were nominated for a Youth award if they have made a positive contribution to the Monash municipality. Monash City Council and the Victorian Government's Office For Youth are jointly funding this project to recognise young people's contribution to their community and to showcase young people's talents and achievements. Nominations were aimed at young people who have a commitment to the community in areas such as volunteering, taking care of the environment, being peer mentors, supporting community members, or who have simply made a positive impact or contribution one way or the other. Nominees were young people aged between 10 and 25 years, who live, study, work or have significant ties to the Monash municipality and fit within one or more of the categories listed above. An awards celebration evening will be held on Friday 16 April 2010. The event will run from 6:30pm - 11pm and the awards will be presented within this time. Please note that nominations closed on Friday 9 April 2010.
