CINEFEST OZ not only captured the imagination of the region, but also the attention of the 2015 Regional Achievement and Community Awards.
The South West event has been selected as a finalist for the Perth Airport Events and Tourism Award.
The Awards aim to encourage, acknowledge and reward the valuable contribution businesses, individuals and community groups make in their local communities.
CinefestOZ was launched in 2008 by a community-minded committee with a vision to develop an iconic cultural event to attract global visitors.
The event showcases extraordinary Australian and French films over five days, with 18,000 attendees and an estimated six million dollars in tourist revenue last year.
The finalists will be presented and winners announced at an Awards Gala Presentation Dinner to be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on November 6.
This year the awards had eight categories open for nominations.
Community members are invited to share this occasion with the finalists.
Tickets are $110 each and include a three-course meal, drinks, entertainment and dancing.
For ticket or other enquiries call the awards office on 9201 1155 or email wa@awardsaustralia.com.
