We are excited to announce that the bookings for the 2022 Excellence and Apprentice Awards is now open.

This year we are pulling out all the stops to create an event worthy of our industry champions.

This is, after all, our industry's night of nights - it's our equivalent of the 'Brownlow' - and we think it deserves a function as special as our winners.

We are thrilled to announce that for the first time, we will be holding an evening event ( this may come as a shock for those of you that have joined us in previous years for our luncheon) at the Palladium at Crown. Complete with a three-course meal, free-flowing beverages and one of the biggest stars of Australian comedy to keep us entertained.

This is your chance to dust off the fancy suits and evening gowns and celebrate our industry, which not just survived but managed to complete the impressive projects through some of the most challenging years in Victoria.

We've also secured a super popular actor/singer/TV host to MC the night, and he'll be bringing his live band so after dinner and the presentations are over we can all party like it's not 2022 anymore!

We would love for you to bring your partners along with (as you will need a dancing partner) and make a night of it! Better still, book a table, so you can celebrate with your entire team (and their partners!).

We do expect tickets to sell fast, so mark your calendars, book your table and start inviting your guests.
