The Venues for the Georgy Awards
The inaugural Georgy Awards were hold at the Hotel Victoria in Shepparton and over the years the awards night has had many homes. Whilst the Georgy Awards presentation nights were split into Senior and Junior, venues used included Amber Court Receptions and TAFE’s Harder Auditorium for the Senior presentations, and Wesley Church Hall, Shepparton High School Hall and The Maude Street Mall for Junior presentations.
The Georgy Awards were combined again to include both Senior and Junior sections in 2002 and were held at WestSide Performing Arts Centre, Mooroopna. In 2010, the Georgy Awards were held at the Paramount Theatre, Echuca.
After presenting the award ceremony at the Eastbank Centre, Shepparton from 2011 – 2017, the awards were presented at Riverlinks WestSide, Mooroopna in February 2019 for the 2018 theatre season which saw the judging year move to a full calendar year with the awards ceremony being held in February of the year after.
