Over 50 students will be recognised for completing the 16 week intensive course, with the evening providing an opportunity to showcase the best creative work to a range of industry professionals, media, and sponsors. In addition, the top five graduating students will receive a consultation with AWARD School Graduation sponsor Big Fish Creative Recruitment, who will also be in attendance on the night to help graduates understand the local jobs market and how to get a foot on the industry career ladder.

The evening will reveal the top ten students from the class of 2013, with a professional photo shoot being offered by Sugar Productions for the Best in Show.

Almost 200 students will graduate from AWARD School over the next few months across Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and Tasmania. Dates for the upcoming ceremonies are as follows:

Melbourne – Thursday 25th July

Brisbane – Thursday 1st August

Sydney – Tuesday 6th August

Hobart – Thursday 15th August

Perth – Wednesday 28th August

Adelaide – Contact Tesha

The AWARD School program has now been running for 30 years; the 2013 graduates follow in the footsteps of many of today’s creative leaders, including past students: Craig Davis, ex-chairman of AWARD and co-chairman & chief creative officer of Publicis Mojo, David Droga, founder and creative chairman of Droga5, and Matt Eastwood, chief creative officer at DDB New York.

The graduations welcome attendees from across the industry. To buy tickets for any of the upcoming ceremonies, please contact Tesha Jones: tesha@communicationscouncil.org.au.
