ARCIA State Professional of the Year Awards
In addition to the Excellence Awards, ARCIA presents a State Professional of the Year Award at each of the state capital city dinners in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
State award winners each receive a trophy, along with an invitation to attend the Gala dinner and Excellence Awards held in Melbourne in conjunction with Comms Connect, where they automatically become the nominees for the national ‘Peter Wallace Industry Advancement Award”. As with the Industry Excellence Awards, anyone can nominate, but nominees must be current financial members of ARCIA, either individually or via the organisation they work for.

Some of the areas for consideration could include:
- Significant contribution to the radio and critical communications community
- An apprentice or new talent who has shown exceptional skills, achievements or dedication in their workplace
