The Tattersall's Award for Enterprise and Achievement recognises and rewards the work of those unsung heroes in our community.

Presented on a monthly basis, the award is designed to acknowledge those in our community who are prepared to 'have a go', an attitude not dissimilar to that of our founder, George Adams. Since the first Award presentation in 1980, over 320 men, women and children have been recognised. Some have won the Award for heroic deeds, others for overcoming personal barriers, or then there are those who have simply reached out and helped someone in need. Whatever their cause, they have always demonstrated persistence and determination above the norm.

Each monthly winner receives $2,500, a trophy and a $15,000 donation to their nominated beneficiary. From this pool of monthly winners, an annual winner is chosen to receive a personal prize of $10,000 and a donation of $50,000 towards their nominated beneficiary.

In 2006, Tattersall's formed a partnership with Melbourne radio station 3AW. The People's Choice Award provides 3AW listeners with the opportunity to nominate their own favourite monthly winner. Just listen to 3AW on weekdays for the on air promotion of our monthly winners. Listeners will be able to register their vote for the 3AW People's Choice Award closer to the annual Tattersall's Award for Enterprise and Achievement announcement in August 2007.
