They each received an engraved, hand-made glass trophy from the world-renowned Jam Factory in Adelaide.
Our congratulations to all those nominated in 2019. We'd like to acknowledge again how difficult it is to choose our winners from the many amazing nominations we receive. We would dearly love to reward all nominees as their stories are inspiring and all deserve to be recognised.
If you didn't get your nomination in for 2019, make sure you bookmark this site and keep an eye out in June for the call for Nominations for 2020 - the 10th year of the awards. Remember, you don't have to be a blood relation to nominate someone, you can nominate anyone you know. Any senior person fulfilling a mentoring role to a young person is eligible to be nominated. And every nominee receives a Nomination Certificate acknowledging their achievement.
