2015 VicHealth Awards - Nominations Open

Victoria is a world leader in health promotion. Whether it’s ground-breaking research, a community-led health initiative, or a state-wide awareness campaign, communities across the state benefit from health promotion every day.
The 2015 VicHealth Awards will celebrate these great projects that are making our communities happier and healthier places, and empowering Victorians to take control of their health and wellbeing.
This year’s categories are:

• Promoting healthy eating

• Communications in health promotion

• Building health through sports 

• Building health through arts

Entries are invited from state and local governments, health agencies, non-government, not-for-profit and private sector organisations. VicHealth is looking at all of Victoria’s leading health promotion projects – from large programs with a broad reach, to the best health promotion ideas at a local level.
Entries must be submitted online at www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/awards by 5pm on Friday 14 August 2015. Enquires can be directed to awards@vichealth.vic.gov.au
