Conditions of entry
By submitting a nomination for the Awards, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you are nominating someone other than yourself, you must bring these Terms, and our Privacy Policy, to the attention of that person and get their consent to their entry into the Awards, prior to making any nomination.
Method of nomination
To enter, please go to the online Nomination Form and follow the instructions to complete the relevant online nomination form. There is no limit on the number of nominations you may submit.
Nominations that are incomplete or indecipherable may, at our entire discretion, not be valid and may therefore be deemed void. Use of false or misleading information in the Nomination Form or the submission of a nomination contrary to these terms will result in your nomination being invalidated.
Nominations open on 30th July 2024 at 00:00 AEST and close on 30th September 2024 at 23:59 AEST (Closing Date).
Eligibility
The nominated person is ineligible to enter, and win an Award, if the nominated person (or any person in the team of nominated persons if a team is nominated):
a) has a criminal record in Australia;
b) is not an Australian resident; and/or
c) is an employee of us or our affiliated companies, or an employee of agents or suppliers of us or our holding company or subsidiary companies, who are professionally connected with the Awards or its administration; or an immediate family member or a member of such people.
The nominated person may be yourself, your team, another team/organisation, or someone else, but it is your responsibility as the person making the nomination to obtain permission from the person being nominated before submitting a nomination on their behalf. This includes obtaining their permission to include ancillary documents such as photographs of the nominee as part of your nomination form.
If you are under 18 years of age, you must have the permission of your parent or guardian to submit a nomination, and if requested by us, you must provide the name and telephone number of your parent or guardian.
If you are nominating someone else who is under the age of 18 on the date the nomination is made, then you must obtain consent from their parent or guardian before you nominate them and, if requested by us, you must provide the name and telephone number of their parent or guardian.
We reserve the right to contact the relevant parent or guardian to check the required consents and we can, at our discretion, exclude any nominations for which the requisite consent has not been given.
In addition to any consent that may be required, it is also your responsibility to inform the nominee that they may be required to participate in filming, broadcast and additional publicity related to the Awards if they are chosen as a winner.
If you are nominating a team or organisation, and providing us with generic organisational contact details (i.e. no personal details) on behalf of the team/ organisation, then you do not need to inform the organisation that you are nominating them, nor make them aware of the terms as described above. However, if you are singling out an individual for us to contact at this organisation, then you must follow the rules for nominating an individual as described above.
Our team may contact the nominator, the nominees (and their parent/ guardian, where applicable) to verify facts and/ or events and whether the relevant consents/ permissions have been obtained and, by making a nomination, you acknowledge and agree to this. We do not represent, undertake or warrant that we will contact all nominators or nominees.
We reserve the right (without obligation) to carry out security and/or verification checks on the proposed winners of each category to confirm their eligibility to win an award. If necessary, we will seek the consent of the proposed winners of each category to collect any sensitive personal information required to complete these checks.

Nominee selection process
All valid nominations received by the Closing Date will be considered. A nomination is deemed to be received at the time of its receipt by us and not at the time of transmission.
50 nominees will be shortlisted by a panel of judges, based on what we select are the best stories and examples which best demonstrate excellence and dedication in the relevant nomination category. The 50 shortlisted nominees selected at this stage will proceed to the next judging stage.
3 nominees will then be shortlisted during the second judging stage by a panel of judges who are experts in their field and who are independent from us. The 3 shortlisted nominees selected at this stage will proceed to the next judging stage.
At the third and final stage, a panel of celebrity judges will choose the winner of each category. One winner will be selected for each category and there will therefore be 5 winners in total.
For further information, please refer to the Nomination Form for information on the specific categories and the applicable judging criteria for each category. The selection of nominees at all three stages will be entirely at each panel’s discretion. The panel’s decision at each stage is final, and we will not enter into correspondence regarding the results.
Judging of nominations will take place between 1st October 2024 and 31st October 2024.
Nominees must be available to be contacted between 31st July 2024 and 14th November 2024.
The winners will be announced at a live event, via our media partners and via social media posts between November 13th and November 30th.
If a winner does not claim their prize by December 31st 2024, we reserve the right to award the prize to the next best shortlisted nominee in the relevant category, as determined by the panel during the second judging stage.
Filming and publicity
The winner of each category may be required to make themselves available, as and when requested by us or our broadcast/ media partners (with reasonable notice), to take part in filming, broadcast and publicity and/ or other contact related to the Awards between October 1st 2024 and November 13th 2024 either via our social channels or via filming with our broadcast partner and/ or during our in-person celebratory event on November 13 2024 (date may be subject to change). The winners agree that they will not receive compensation for any participation requested by us, and that they consent to us and our broadcast/ media partners using their name and image in any media in perpetuity, without limitation and without compensation to the winner. Either the winner or, where relevant, their parent or legal guardian will need to provide their signature as proof of waiver and/ or consent to be filmed, such waiver/ and or consent document to be provided by us or our broadcast/ media partner(s).
If a winner is under the age of 18 and is required to engage in any publicity in connection with the awards, and for this reason needs to attend a specific location, the winner must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18.
