Young achiever nominations open

Nominations for the 2025 7NEWS Victorian Young Achiever Awards are now open, inviting the community to recognise remarkable young individuals aged 30 and under.

These inspiring individuals often amaze us with their ability to find time to help others while paving the way for the future through innovative thinking.

They serve as leaders and role models for their peers.

There are several categories for nominations, including the Victorian Government Group Achievement in the Community Award, the Yarn Strong Sista Indigenous Achievement Award, and the Little Gigs “Little Victorian’s” Achiever Award, among others.

Each category winner will receive a prize from DMT Coaching and will be featured in a television advertisement aired across the Seven Network, celebrating the achievements of the 2025 winners.

One of these winners will be selected as the 2025 Victorian Young Achiever of the Year.

To submit a nomination, visit www.youngachieverawards.com, select ‘VIC,’ and click the ‘nominate now’ button.

Alternatively, you can call 9720 1638 with the nominee’s details. Nominations close on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
