Showcasing The Next Generation Of Young Innovators, Entrepreneurs, Leaders And Educators From Across Western Australia!

The Next Gen Western Australia Showcase Event has been designed as an opportunity to recognise the young people and educators from across WA working to develop their skills, bring their ideas to life, and get a headstart on their chosen pathway. 

 

Powered by the Spacecubed Innovative Society Initiative, supported by Lotterywest, and run as part of the Next Gen Awards, The Next Gen Western Australia Showcase Event will see us recognising the top three finalists for each of our six award categories and celebrating the West Australian winner for each category. 

Entries for these awards are open to all young West Australians and their educators until the 19th of September 2023. All nominations will be reviewed by a judging panel of West Australian innovators and changemakers as they select our finalists and winners for each category. 

On the 1st of November, we will all be coming together at the Bloom Innovation Hub at Curtin University to celebrate our finalists, build our networks, and announce the winner for each category!
