Karen Mundine, Reconciliation Australia CEO, talking about National Reconciliation Week campaign winning Anthem Awards Gold. National Reconciliation Week campaigns have triumphed at the global 2024 Anthem Awards in New York, taking out Gold in the non-profit category. The Anthem Award, the world’s largest and most comprehensive social impact award, was given to the two NRW campaigns in recognition of their impact in community engagement for diversity equity and inclusion causes. #BeAVoiceForGenerations and #NowMoreThanEver were the winning respective themes for National Reconciliation Week 2023 and 2024 in the category for campaigns created by a non-profit organisation to raise awareness for diversity, equity, and inclusion causes. The NRW campaigns beat more than 2,300 entries submitted from over thirty countries. Reconciliation Australia CEO Karen Mundine welcomed the news and thanked Carbon Creative, the partner agency which worked on the two campaigns. Reconciliation Australia will launch the theme for #NRW2025 soon. Congratulations, NRW! To find out more, check out the link below.

Sharon Winsor, Executive Chef, Founder and CEO of @indigiearth, talking about sharing the healing power of native food through Indigiearth. Award-winning chef Sharon Winsor is on a mission to show the world that bush food is much more than just “witchetty grubs and goanna”. She realised many people did not know what bush foods were, and decided to start a business to showcase how native ingredients could be used. Indigiearth is an award-winning business fully owned and operated by Aboriginal people. It is based in the scenic Central West region of New South Wales, Mudgee, on Wiradjuri Country. Indigiearth works with native Australian ingredients gathered from across the nation, including coastal areas and inland across our vast country. They partner with Aboriginal communities who use traditional land care practices that honour Mother Earth. To find out more, check out the link below!
