Oxfam Trailwalker Awards

State Street Overcoming the Odds Award

Anyone who has participated in Oxfam Trailwalker - the annual team endurance event that raises millions of dollars for Oxfam - knows the true meaning of the words "challenge" and "commitment".

For the fourth consecutive year, State Street, the principal sponsor of Oxfam Trailwalker, will present its "Overcoming the Odds" award which will honour an individual who has overcome personal adversity to participate in this demanding but inspiring event.

The winner will receive a $500 cash prize and will have a $4,500 donation from the State Street Foundation made to the Oxfam program of their choice. The winner will also be recognised at the Oxfam Trailwalker awards nights for their respective events.

Award contestants must participate in either of the Oxfam Trailwalker Australia (Sydney and Melbourne) events. Nominations must include a short description of how the nominee "overcame the odds" to achieve his or her Oxfam Trailwalker goal. Submissions may be accompanied by supporting material such as a photo or video.

The closing date for the State Street "Overcoming the Odds" award is 30 September 2009.

To enter please contact Oxfam Trailwalker using our online form, or call 02 8204 3900. Nominations must include the contestant's name and team number
