By doing this you have the option to bring some promotional material and we will include your logo in all of the ZEST Awards promotional material.   Contact Nancy Nicholson 02 9687 9695 if you are interested.

Invitations to those nominated for an award have been sent by email and they can invite up to two other people to attend with them for free.

If you are not a nominee and would like to attend the ZEST Awards Ceremony then you can also go on line and register:  $30 per person or $300 per table (10 people). Click here to register.

Details of the 2012 ZEST Awards Program will be available on our website, www.gwsawards.org.au, in early February. The event will be open at 3.30pm to start at 4.00pm, starting with a Contemporary Aboriginal performance. (Note: Attendees will need to be seated by 4.00pm as the doors will remain closed while the performance is on.)

Surely it's no coincidence that the word "listen" is an anagram of the word "silent”.
