Engagement Australia Excellence Awards 2022 – CLOSING DATE EXTENDED

We have received some requests for extension to the closing date for our Engagement Australia Excellence Awards.

We have therefore decided to extend the closing date and timeline for applications by one week to next Wednesday 10 August.  We will also ensure that our online entry platform allows for applications that have already been lodged to be refined by applicants up until the closing time.

Judging process will still commence as per planned week commencing 15th August.

In 2021 we received a record number of award applications, and this year we look forward to celebrating even more examples of impactful and purpose-driven engagement across Australia and New Zealand.”
