2021 Excellence and Apprentice Awards Nominations Our Excellence Awards nominations have now closed and we are about to commence the judging process. We are looking forward to seeing all of the fantastic projects our members have nominated. As we were unable to run the Excellence Awards in 2020, this year’s program combines both the 2020 and 2021 projects. The Apprentice Awards nominations are open until early July and interviews with nominees will take place shortly after. The benefits of being nominated are endless for apprentices, including an opportunity to network, win prizes

and become an ambassador for the industry. If you have an apprentice who you think is worthy, we encourage you to consider nominating them if they are within twelve months of completing their apprenticeship. This year’s Excellence and Apprentice Awards celebrations will be held at our Industry Gala Dinner on Friday 10 September 2021, in the scenic Panorama Ballroom at Adelaide Convention Centre. We certainly hope you will join us for this fantastic event, which showcases some of the great work being completed in the industry today, as well as our high achieving apprentices who are the future of our industry. Of course it is also an opportunity to enjoy an excellent social event with your peers. If you would like to attend the Industry Gala Dinner, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Leah Boyce, Business Relationship Manager, who will ensure you receive an invitation to the event.
