Help celebrate originality and creativity with the first annual RAWards. Held by the arts organisation RAW: natural born artists, the Brisbane leg is the first time RAW has emerged from its base in the United States. Essentially, the group encourages the support of independent artists in all creative genres, helping them to secure the tools, resources and exposure they need for a career. The awards evening will be held on Friday November 23 and will showcase 38 nominees across nine different categories. Selecting the winner from each category will be a judging panel of 12 industry experts, as well as the audience via a live public vote.

@ The Arena, November 23
