Competition supports rural innovation

Published on 14 March 2018

An innovative competition is recognising the important role of rural Victorians as problem-solvers.

Rural Councils Victoria (RCV) has launched its Community Innovators Competition, aimed at highlighting the special and creative work that rural Victorians are already doing in their communities.

The competition had four categories – road safety, library and literacy services, fire safety and saving energy.

The winner in each category will win $1000 to be spent on expanding the project or program for which they were successful.

The winners will be announced at the RCV Rural Summit, this year being held at Lakes Entrance on 16 to 17 May 2018.

If you'd like to nominate themselves or someone you think deserves the award, download the entry form at ruralcouncilsvictoria.org.au/competitions

Entrants must be a resident or employee of Benalla Rural City Council or one of the other member councils of RCV, which you can look up on their website.
