Now in their 7th year, the SIMNA Awards celebrate the depth and wide variety of inspiring (and very clever) work being done across Australia to advance and evidence social change.

With 1-minute pitches from our Finalists and a lively debate with our fabulous speaker panel, this unique networking opportunity is not to be missed. 

Register today!

2021 SIMNA Awards - meet our Finalists!

The annual SIMNA Awards Ceremony is when we gather our social impact measurement community together to celebrate the work of our 17 Finalists and to announce this year's Winners and Runners-Up. 

As in previous years, Winners and Runners-Up will be announced in the following categories:

Excellence in Social Impact Measurement, sponsored by Spark Strategy

Innovation in Social Impact Measurement, sponsored by Urbis

Outstanding Collaboration in Social Impact Measurement, sponsored by SVA Consulting

Leading Funder in Social Impact Measurement, sponsored by Our Community

Discussion Panel - meet our Speakers! 

The Speaker Panel is a 45-minute, facilitated segment and is sponsored by Lendlease. Taking to this year's virtual stage are:

Angela Vurens Van Es, Director Community Impact and Analysis, Lotterywest

Western Australia has the only lottery in the nation, and one of the few in the world, where all the profits are returned directly back to the community.

Aden Date, Arts, Media and Social Impact Specialist

Aden’s career has gravitated around three main questions – what is knowable, what is good, and what is true? 

Our Facilitator is SIMNA Board Member Benjamin Jardine. 

A Special Word of Thanks

The SIMNA Awards would not be possible without the support of our many sponsors. A particular mention to our Platinum Sponsor the Department of Social Services (DSS) for their support. Thank you!

Final Reminder

This is a celebration! Feel free to dress up. And bring along a glass of something special to toast our Winners and Runners-Up!

I look forward to seeing you there,
