Shire of Campaspe mayor Ian Maddison said the annual volunteer awards were a tangible way of thanking and publicly acknowledging outstanding people in the community who work tirelessly for the benefit others.

"Campaspe Shire has a strong spirit of volunteerism and the positive difference volunteers make through their tireless work can be seen in all facets of community life," he said. 

There are three categories - individual, young person and organisation. 

The closing date for nominations is April 24.
