AWARD School Grad Night 2025: celebrate WA’s rising creative stars

Western Australia’s creative community is invited to Perth’s Moana Hall on Tuesday 5 August for 2025’s AWARD School Graduation: a night that celebrates big ideas, hard-earned progress, and the bright future of the industry.

Co-hosted by Tim Newton, AWARD School WA Head and Creative Director at St John WA, and Melissa Vella, WA State Manager of Advertising Council Australia, the evening marks the end of a 12-week slog for a standout group of emerging talent.

Vella said: “AWARD School is Australia’s premier course for aspiring creatives; a program that pushes students to develop and prove the worth of their ideas, sharpen their thinking, and create work that demands attention.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone to graduation night, a milestone moment that reflects the resilience, courage and growth of everyone who’s made it through.”

Guests will get an up-close look at the students’ work, celebrate the announcement of the 2025 WA winner and runners-up, and connect with creatives, agency leaders and supporters over drinks.

Tickets are limited to five per agency and close at 5:00pm on Friday 25 July.
