Now in its 13th year, the Ruby Awards is Arts South Australia’s annual celebration of South Australia’s arts and cultural sector, recognising artistic excellence, creative achievement, innovation, community involvement and inspirational leaders who have made a difference to the artistic and cultural life of the state.
Newly revamped for 2018 with an expanded 12 prize categories, this year the Rubys will also pay tribute to late South Australian arts and cultural icons Uncle Stevie Goldsmith and Frank Ford AM with two new awards named in their honour.
Twenty-eight finalists have been announced ahead of the event across seven categories: Best Festival; Best Work or Event – both within and outside a festival; Best Work, Event or Project for Young People; Best Community or Regional Event or Project; Outstanding Contribution by an Organisation or Group; and the Made in Adelaide Award for artistic and cultural achievement by South Australians outside the state.
We would like to congratulate the City Rural Insurance clients that have been nominated.
