The MFA 5+ Award was designed to reflect the purpose of the MFA 5+ program; to inspire, motivate and challenge the industry’s 5+ community, with a particular focus on developing business skills.

The first round of judging narrowed the entry pool down to a shortlist of entrants who then presented their entry to a panel comprised of the MFA Board and C-suite clients earlier this week.

Says Greg Graham, chairman, MFA Awards: “The passion and commitment demonstrated by each individual was clearly evident. The judges were highly impressed with the quality of strategic thinking of the MFA 5+ entrants.”

The winning entry will be awarded a $5,000 business scholarship to be used to further develop their skills within the media and communications industry.

The winners of the 17th annual MFA Awards will be announced at an awards presentation in Sydney on 15th October at Australian Technology Park.
