2011 Regional Winners Announced

IAP2 Australasia’s premier Core Values Awards recognise and encourage projects that are at the forefront of public participation. The awards were created to encourage excellence, quality and innovation in public participation, and each entry is subject to a rigorous judging process. The quality of the entries over the years has been of a high standard, showcasing a diverse picture of engagement projects and organisations. Embedding the IAP2 Core Values in organisations and projects that demonstrate leading practice is a key focus for the Awards.

This year, entries in each of the two categories for the Awards - Project of the Year (PoY) and Organisation of the Year (OoY) – have again been of an excellent standard.
