Industry Awards

Each year the NGIV celebrates the achievements of those working in the industry and presents the winners at the Annual Gala Dinner. 

Applications are now open and close on 9 June 2023.

The Horticulture Student of the Year Award is presented to a student of any age who is currently enrolled and studying for an apprenticeship or training course within the horticulture sector that leads to a nationally recognised qualification.

The Young Horticulture Leader of the Year Award recognises Victoria’s up-and-coming horticultural talent. This person may only just be starting out in their career, but have displayed the capability, commitment, and vision, to become a future leader.

The Commitment to Environmental Stewardship Award recognises an ability to demonstrate excellence through positive environmental outcomes and demonstrates sustainability leadership within the industry.  

If you are eligible, or you know someone in the industry that is, be sure to apply.
