Realise Your Dream is a professional development award developed by British Council Australia.

The Award offers Australians aged 30 and under on 31 July with skills in the creative industries a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with British leaders in their respective fields.

Thanks to our sponsors, each prize includes a tailor-made work experience programme in the UK, a return flight and $8000 to cover living expenses while you are there.

The British Council will use its creative contacts in the UK to set up a personally tailored work experience programme for you in the UK. Visit the Previous Winners Gallery for examples of past experiences.

All you need to do is to be able to clearly demonstrate how you would benefit from the award, and submit an application via this website.

Short listed applicants will be contacted for interviews later in the year, with the finalists invited to attend a prestigious Awards Ceremony in Sydney in September, where the winners will be announced.


This opportunity is open to Australians working in: industrial and object design, design, fashion, moving image, visual arts, drama, advertising, words, production, direction, architecture and music.

This list is not exhaustive and if you have any queries please feel free to contact us. You can also visit our Winners Gallery for some more examples, or check out the recent Realise Your Dream feature on Channel 9’s Sunday programme, in which two of our previous winners are interviewed in the UK.
