Australian of the Year Awards

See the craftsmanship behind one of Australia’s most recognisable awards. Created by skilled staff and students from the ANU School of Art & Design, each Australian of the Year trophy is handcrafted in brilliant blue glass. Its angular form reflects the many dimensions of Australian society and a unique colour detail distinguishes each award category. Produced through the long-standing partnership between ANU and the Australian of the Year Awards, these striking works celebrate achievement, leadership and service to the community.
