The Association External Campaign of the Year™ will be presented to an association that has made an outstanding achievement through an external campaign that has resulted in significant improvement for the association’s mission, sector or members. Associations nominating for an award may also enter other awards.

As part of Associations Forum membership, Silver and Gold members can submit nominations for free, Bronze members pay a $250 nomination fee, and non-members pay $1,000. Invoices will be issued upon receipt of the application, with submission confirmed once payment is received.

Submissions must be received by 5pm (AEST), Friday 1 August 2025. Previous winners cannot submit nominations for the same category within 4 years of winning their award. All award nominations are treated as strictly confidential and only shared with judges and relevant staff.

Multiple organisations may be recognised for their collaborative involvement in the External Campaign.

An organisation may submit more than one campaign (a separate fee applies for each campaign if the organisation is not a member or is a bronze member).

All finalist Associations are required to have a representative attendance at the Association Awards™ Dinner, on Thursday 6 November 2025 at Novotel Melbourne Airport. For more information and to register click here.
