An evening dedicated to honouring the remarkable achievements of ECU graduates who make a difference across diverse fields.

Guests are treated to an unforgettable evening filled with world-class entertainment, culminating in the announcement of the latest Alumni Award winners.

Entertainment

This special evening will both showcase and celebrate the extraordinary talent of our ECU alumni community.

Headlining the evening will be a performance from Australian-American soprano, and last year’s ECU Young Alumni Award Winner, Amy Manford.

You can also catch talented, young multi-instrumentalist and fellow WAAPA alum Charlie Youngson.

Our MC for the evening is broadcasting alumna and recent recipient of Business News 40under40, Cassie Silver.

Help change lives

Proceeds from ticket sales will be put towards life-changing scholarships for ECU students, because we want to give all future stars the opportunity to realise their academic dreams regardless of their financial situation.

In 2024, we raised over $8,000 towards the Inspiring Minds Scholarship fund.
