I’m delighted and honoured to announce that I’ve been nominated for the prestigious French Australian Excellence Awards, in the Culture, Entertainment and Events category. Exciting–and I’m in excellent company, too!

Organised by Le Courrier Australian, the French-Australian Excellence Awards recognise French and/or Australian citizens whose remarkable talents, collaboration, entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and dedication have significantly enriched the Franco-Australian community throughout the year.

From emerging talents and accomplished entrepreneurs to public figures, the Awards celebrate outstanding contributions by individuals and organisations to French-Australian relations and society across Australia. Importantly, the competition is participatory: anyone can nominate a candidate.

Nominees are then voted on by the Public and a Jury, giving the wider community an opportunity to help recognise those making a meaningful contribution.

I’ll also be attending the Awards dinner in St Kilda in Melbourne on November 4, whatever the outcome–and looking forward to meeting other nominees and sharing in the celebration of the French-Australian contribution to this country.
