Australian Event Awards 2010

As regular readers of our blog will know, last year we attended the Australian Event Awards 2009 to see what it was all about. We then wrote a review about the aware here on the blog (click here to read). In our review we highlighted the fact that there was no categories for weddings or private events. We are delighted to announce that in this year’s Australian Event Awards there is a new category that caters for the Special Events Sector called ‘Best Private Event’. This is great to see and should really encourage some new faces at this year’s awards. We have detailed below the entry criteria for this category:
