Jim Sharman Future Award: Live Pitch Finals

The Jim Sharman Future Award Live Pitch Presentation
Tuesday 29 April, 1:00 pm – NIDA
A NIDA Future Centre event.

Step into a high-stakes pitch fest where the future is up for grabs.

Six fearless finalists, aged 16–30 and drawn from Australia and the Asia-Pacific, have just five minutes each to pitch their boundary-breaking ideas to a panel of industry heavyweights.

Then it’s the judges’ turn with a rapid-fire Q&A that puts each idea to the test.

Audience members can come and go between pitches in true start-up pitch style.

Pitch Sessions: 1:00 – 2:30 pm
Intermission + Deliberation: 2:30 – 3:00 pm
Winner Announcement: 3:00 pm

One finalist will walk away with $50,000 to turn their radical vision into reality – and the support of NIDA to help bring it to life.

Attend in person or tune in via livestream.

RSVP now and secure your front-row seat to tomorrow.
