A message from Carly Soutter – SA President AWA on Awards

Imagine how a simple nomination for an AWA Excellence award could lift your market presence and your professional reputation. Whether you're nominating as an organisation or an individual this recognition on the national stage - particularly if you’re selected as a South Australian finalist at Ozwater'25 - hosted in Adelaide, could catapult your name, your brand and your future. 

Top five tips for some great SA nominations:
1.    Think beyond metropolitan South Australia! We have some incredible talent within our regional councils.
2.    Consider the water aspects of other sector projects – we can learn from each other through this thought leadership
3.    Too shy to ask for a nomination? Nominate yourself and then reach out to request a reference from your industry peers – this is an awesome opportunity to request feedback and other insights to help you in future.

Seize this incredible opportunity to showcase your achievements. Take the initiative, nominate yourself or others now for the prestigious SA Awards, celebrating individual brilliance with the SA Premier's Water Medal or Young Water Professional of the Year. Students, elevate your work with the Student Water Prize.
