Who Can Enter
Regardless of your role within the Australian events industry, there is a category to suit you.
The Australian Event Awards are designed to for all sectors of the industry and all events professionals. There are categories to recognise not only great Australian events, but also the achievements of Australian events organisers, suppliers, training programs and individual contributors to the industry.
Entries into the Australian Event Awards are open to events staged in Australia and achievements by Australians during the period from 1 July to 30 June each year.
Each of the Categories of the Event Awards has its own eligibility requirements, but there are some general rules and principles that you should keep in mind:
- Entrants in the Event Awards are required to be either Australian citizens or businesses registered in Australia
- In most cases, the subject of entries in the Achievement Categories must relate to an achievement at a specific event. For example, the "Best Achievement in Catering" award is designed to reward a particular achievement at a particular event (or events) that took place during the entry period and is not simply an award for providing good catering generally. Exceptions to this rule are the Best Venue and Best Product or Service and Best Education or Training Program categories
- Entrants may enter more than one category but must complete an entry form for each category separately
- The submission of an entry that relies upon work at a particular event must have the permission of the Event Owner
- With the exception of the Lifetime Achievement Award, work or achievements outside of the entry period cannot be considered
For more information, please view the categories and criteria page for your desired category.
