Australian Alumni Award Nominations Now Open!
Nominations open today for the 2010 Australian Alumni Awards in Indonesia.
“This annual award scheme is important in recognising the significant contribution made by Indonesian alumni of Australian education institutions in their chosen profession when they return to Indonesia,” said Bill Farmer, Australian Ambassador to Indonesia.
The ten award categories are:
- Outstanding Young Australian Alumni Award
- Australian Alumni Award for Excellence in Education
- Australian Alumni Award for Entrepreneurship
- Australian Alumni Award for Sustainable and Economic Development
- Australian Alumni Award for Research and Innovation
- Australian Alumni Award for Business Leadership
- Australian Alumni Award for Culture and the Arts
- Australian Alumni Award for Creativity and Design
- Australian Alumni Award for Journalism and Media
- Australian Alumni Award for Excellence in National Security Governance
“I strongly encourage the public to nominate high achieving alumni for these awards and help to celebrate their success,” said Farmer.
Alumni to have received these prestigious Australian Alumni Awards in previous years include:
- Dr Boediono, Vice President of Indonesia, awarded the Australian Alumni Award for Sustainable Economic and Social Development
- Dr James Riady, awarded the Australian Alumni Award for Entrepreneurship
- Ms Mira Lesmana, awarded the Australian Alumni Award for Culture and Arts
- Ms Sally Koeswanto, awarded the Australian Alumni Award for Creativity and Design
- Dr Ines Atmosukarto, awarded the Australian Alumni Award for Research and Innovation
- Mr Alex Simanjuntak, awarded the Outstanding Young Australian Alumni Award
To be eligible for nomination, alumni must have studied in Australia for at least 12 months. Alumni do not have to be working in the particular discipline from which they graduated but it is essential to display an on-going high level of achievement in the award category. The awards are not designed to reward those who are nearing graduation.
Nominations can be made online, by any member of the Indonesian and Australian public, via the interactive Australian alumni website www.ozmate.org. Please visit www.ozmate.org for nomination details and eligibility – nominations close on 19 February. The finalists will be announced in March and the winners will be announced at a special ceremony in April 2010.
