Taking advantage of the chance to partner with Velo-City Global 2014 in Adelaide ,the CPF have given the awards a bit of a revamp while also introducing a global element. Re-named, the Cycling Luminaries Awards will now showcase the achievements of Australian organisations and individuals in getting more people cycling while two new categories, Leadership and First Nations, will in turn introduce Australians to international leaders in these spheres.
Peter Bourke, General Manager of the CPF described the partnership with Velo-city Global 2014 as an opportunity to showcase ‘Tales worth telling, tales worth celebrating’.
Nominations can be made for categories such as Leadership, First Nations, Pimp My Ride, Bike Culture, Cycling for next generation and Built environment.
