Four weeks to Riverprize Gala Dinner
There are only four weeks to go until the winners of the International and National Riverprizes are announced at the Riverprize Gala Dinner on Tuesday 27th September at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
IRF will be joined by guest MC Arron Wood (pictured) to present the finalists for 2011 and celebrate the announcement of the winners. Arron's inspiring career as an environmentalist and educator has earned him awards including the 2001 Young Australian of the Year, the 2006 United Nations Individual Award for Outstanding Services to the Environment, and the 2007 Prime Minister's Environmentalist of the Year award.
Joining the evening in spirit will be English comedian and personality Griff Rhys Jones, who will be taking guests on the Riverprize journey of the finalists, commentating the video presentation. Griff has a strong affiliation with rivers, presenting the BBC series 'Rivers' in 2009. Griff is also the Vice President of the Stour River Trust in Suffolk, England.
