Awards create visibility!

Awards nights generate conversation, media and social media attention. Your organisation gets seen by new audiences, and you walk away with professional photos and content to share across your own channels.

For instance, our WA Social Enterprise of the Year Winner, Anthony from Reboot, was able to share his business story on air on ABC Radio Perth after the awards night last year, with host Jo Trilling.

Head to wasec.org.au/awards to nominate.
