The Finnish Village Activities Association Syty has launched the Village of the Year 2016 selection round. The aim of the Village of the Year selection is to highlight the diverse activities of villages and increase the awareness and visibility of village activities. The aim is to find active villages, successful village activities and to get good examples of village activities and cooperation.
The selection of the national Village of the Year is carried out in two stages. Each provincial association of villages, in our own region the Southern Pohjois Villages Association, nominates its own province based on applications for the Village of the Year. The national Village of the Year is selected by the Finnish Village Activities Association from among the provincial Villages of the Year.
Villages in South Ostrobothnia are requested to send their applications, including any attachments, no later than September 30, 2016 to the following address: Johanna Ikola,
Syreenikuja 5, 62100, Lapua or johanna.ikola@epk.fi.
