The search for South Australia’s next AgTown of the Year has commenced, with nominations for the prestigious award now open.
Now in its fourth year, the annual South Australian Agricultural Town of the Year recognises South Australian towns that excel in agricultural practices and the flow-on effect on their surrounding communities.
Last year’s winner was the Eyre Peninsula community of Kimba, which was selected from 59 nominations from across the state.
The award places a sharp focus on the importance of developing and maintaining a strong and vibrant agriculture sector to benefit regional communities through employment and its subsequent social and economic impacts.
Nominations for this year’s award can be made at www.agtown.com.au, with nominations closing Friday 17 June 2022. Nominated towns will then be put in a public vote from Monday 27 June to help select five finalists who will vie for the title of 2022 South Australian Agricultural Town of the Year.
The winner will be announced at the Regional Showcase celebration in November 2022.
