Powercor, in partnership with the Geelong Cats and Essendon, have launched the Power of the Country Awards, presented by Powercor. 

The competition, coinciding with the 2018 Powercor Country Festival, aims to recognise and reward everyday local heroes in regional Victoria, encouraging members of the community to nominate an individual who connects people, creates positive change and inspires those around them.

All Power of the Country nominees will be in the running to win a cash prize of $5,000 and an additional $5,000 to donate to a charity of their choice.

The Power of the Country Awards nominations are open from 22nd February to the 20th April 2018.
