WINNER AT THE MELBOURNE AWARDS 2018
MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Melbourne Awards recognise achievements that are making Melbourne even greater. These annual awards reveal why Melbourne is a city where people want to live. Attending the Awards on 17 November 2018 was an audience reflecting many backgrounds, diverse projects, and interesting stories. Certainly, those who contribute to the Awards are a testament to Melbourne's successful multiculturalism making our city vibrant and inclusive.
Every year the Awards pay tribute to the most amazing people and endeavours. A lot of the great work on show goes on quietly with philanthropy at the core - making people's lives better, improving our environment, and putting Melbourne on the world stage.
The headline award -- Melburnian of the Year -- was presented to SecondBite founders, Simone and Ian Carson, who started their enterprise in 2005. They redistribute food that would otherwise be wasted - 27 million meals a year - to people in need, completely free of charge. Their contribution and those of so many other organisations at the Awards are an inspiration.
Award entries this year included:
