Dear All,
Nominations for the first annual Paterson's Curse awards close this
Friday, so if you've got a nomination brewing, get going on it pronto!
As of today we've received 25 nominations for the five awards - we're
looking forward to a lot more and to see you all there on 7 August for
a night not to be missed.
The good as well as the bad - we've currently only received 3
nominations for the grevillea award for the most inspiring local
campaign - and I know there's a lot more inspiration out there!
The details and nomination form follow again for those who missed it
the first time.
Cheers
Janet Rice
Convenor, Melbourne West branch, The Australian Greens
Does Someone You Know Deserve An Award?
Who reminds you of Paterson's Curse?
Find out on 7 August at the first annual "Paterson's Curse"
Environment and Human Rights Awards, organised by The Melbourne West
branch of The Australian Greens
We're so sick of corporate bullies and government stuff-ups, we've
decided to give locals a chance to speak out against them. And to
make it fun, we want to give the worst offenders "awards" named after
Melbourne's worst environmental weeds, like Paterson's Curse!
What campaigns are you or groups you are involved with working on?
What do you want to see changed in the west of Melbourne?
Which villains are you fighting?
And yes, the positives too. Who do you find inspirational? Who are
running the best campaigns in the region, fighting for social and
environmental change?
We invite you to nominate some appropriate recipients for these awards
and to attend our fabulous awards night to be held on Tuesday 7 August
2001 in Footscray.
A nomination form for you to nominate some worthy
recipients follows. Nominations must be received by 27 July.
Final judging of the winners will be done by the audience on the
night.
The Greens Senate candidate for Victoria, Scott Kinnear, will be
attending to present the awards, so the evening will also be a good
opportunity to meet Scott and find out what The Greens priorities for
this year's federal election will be.
Please join us in being part of something that's fun, serious,
important and irreverent all at the same time!
