The Australian Advertising "Hall of Fame" was officially launched in 2005 and the inaugural induction event is due to be held in Melbourne in 2007. This prestigious award is designed to honour our most outstanding men and women and to recognise their contribution to the advertising industry and the wider community. The General Council of the AIA invited nominations from the industry for the Award, and at its sole discretion will induct up to three distinguished individuals to the Hall of Fame each year. A distinguished panel of advertising professionals is currently considering nominations which have been received from across Australia. Members of the Advertising Institute will have the opportunity to support individual nominations. B&T have joined us as sponsors of the project. Over time, it is intended to establish an Advertising Showcase of historical material and to recognise the achievements of members of the Australian Advertising Hall of Fame. Initially material will be housed at the RMIT University Virtual Agency in Melbourne.
