Congratulations to all of the entrants this year who put themselves up for the 2020 Roar Awards, it was a seriously tough task for our panel of judges to deliberate and in no way diminishes your effort. Judging comes down to a personal opinion, based on the judges individual experience and the way they were impacted by your submission.
We held our beautiful live events in Port Fairy, Victoria at the Limestone Gallery and on The Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
There were also pop up events held in NSW and WA and a huge shout out goes out to Donna Sillett, Candise Adams and Amanda Rowe who organised amazing events for finalists.
Congratulations again to our 2020 Roar Awards Winners – #winnerwinnerchickendinner
