Prize money this year totals $1100.

They are sponsored by News Of The Area, Club Lemon Tree and Port Stephens Shire Council.

Long time judge and President Kevin Colman said that Club Lemon Tree was proud to be part of the awards for such a long time.

“Our club believes in putting as much back into our community as possible and Tilligerry Adult and Community Education (TACE) who run the awards, is one local group to benefit,” he said.

“Even with our cash flow reduced by the Covid lockdown last year we were still able to support most of our sports teams and a diverse range of community groups,” he added.

Entries are accepted until 30 September and full details can be found on tilligerry.com.
