Queensland Student Academic Prizes 2023
On Monday 31 July 2023 we gathered to celebrate outstanding future planners at the 2023 ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø Queensland Student Academic Prize Ceremony.
Each year, ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø Queensland recognises outstanding achievements by students enrolled in planning courses at our accredited universities and awards prizes for the best performing students.
A primary objective of the ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø (ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø) is the advancement of the study of regional and town planning, civic design and related arts and sciences. A further objective is to improve the general and technical knowledge of both students and graduates. To meet these objectives, ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø maintains a close relationship with teaching institutions, including the review and accreditation of courses, and the recognition of student achievements.
Photos from the evening will be available shortly.
Congratulations to this years recipients!
