SALIFE Awards 2024 recognise the cream of the crop
From Olympic legends to the state’s most splendid gardens and classiest restaurants, a huge line-up of talented regional South Aussies have made the shortlist in the prestigious SALIFE Awards for 2024.
Nominated by the public, each year the awards recognise worthy South Australian people, places, and business for 14 individual award categories.
Shortlisted finalists will be assessed by a panel of judges including Paul Vasileff, Founder and Creative Director of Paulo Sebastian, last year’s SALIFE Person of the Year winner, Heather Croall AM, Director and CEO of Adelaide Fringe, and Andrea Heading, CEO of the Real Estate Institute SA.
Category winners will be announced at the Gala Awards at Piccadilly Theatre on December 4.
