The first is an award for presenters who live interstate from the location of the event.
The second award is for any first-time presenter at a UECA event.
The award will consist of airfares and accommodation for 2 nights to enable attendance at the event (if they are interstate), or for first-time presenter who live locally to the event, they will be eligible for airfares and 2 nights of accommodation to the next UECA PD event.

How will the award be decided?
