Remember that submitting for an award automatically gives you the Early Bird or Web Hot delegate fee for the MEA National Conference for that year!

Also, those submitting an award, make it to state finalist level and are present at their state award event will go into the draw for one complimentary standard registration to the MEA National Conference (*conditions apply, call your state office for further details)

Peruse the category list and highlight the ones applicable

Don't necessarily limit yourself to one category - for example, in addition to the appropriate venue category a venue could enter for catering, and also with their event partners for particular Meetings & Events. Also you or one of your employees could be worthy of individual recognition.

Peruse the category list and highlight the ones applicable. Download the criteria and submission template, or send an email to awards@mea.org.au or phone MEA Office on 02 9929 5400.
