The nationwide Search for a Home has commenced! We are looking for a destination to become ‘home’ to the Australian Event Awards and Symposium for 2019-2021, and are now welcoming bids from destinations, regions, government entities, venues or a partnership combination of such organisations.
Whilst we enjoy another sun-drenched stint on the Sunshine Coast in 2018, we'll be looking for the next host destination that can facilitate the best possible delivery of the Australian Event Awards and Symposium. Our exclusive Destination Partner will enjoy the opportunity to boost its events profile and public visitation, and an extended period of showcasing to decision makers across all sectors of the national industry. Interested in hosting our next three year adventure? Read more and download the bid documents. Bids close Tuesday 4 September 2018.

The Event Awards and Symposium has been held in some great locations over the years, and thanks to our phenomenal Project Delivery Partners, we've been able to transform some unconventional spaces into a canvas for a truly memorable night. In 2011, the Awards ceremony was held in the foyer of Allphones Arena (now called Qudos Bank Arena) - check out this time-lapse of the team collaborating to build, execute and bump out the event.

The Event Awards are known for being easy to enter - but hard to win. The bar is set high for finalist and winners, but the process to put yourself forward is simple. Create a log in to the Entry Portal, and once inside, follow the prompts to open each entry form for the categories you've chosen. You can save your answers in the Portal as you go, or download the questions to work offline.
Entering
Why not start and pay for your Event Awards entry (or entries) before Sunday so you can squeeze it into this financial year? To make the prospect even sweeter, you'll get the Early Starters Discount on each entry too. There's no catch - we're just trying to help you get more bang for your buck - you'll save money, have the added bonus of getting it into this financial year and you'll still have the whole of the entry period to work on your submission. Starting and paying online takes less than 5 minutes - upsides from every angle!
