Nominations are now open for the 2020 Geelong Youth Awards with the community encouraged to nominate young people aged 12-25 who live in Greater Geelong.
With young people experiencing the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions aimed at containing the spread of the virus, it is a great time to highlight and celebrate the enormous contribution that they make to our community.
