AWARD School.
Applications are open for AWARD School 2026, with the 12-week part-time program to run from March to July.
The course is open to anyone with a strong interest in creativity and ideas, from marketers, creatives and account managers to designers and career switchers, and includes weekly lectures and tutorials led by local and international creatives.
Students respond to a series of practical briefs across multiple mediums.
The course has introduced a national lecture format, providing students across all states with access to the same lecturers and learning experience, alongside in-person tutorials.
Applicants can enrol in their local state program or the national online program, with Indigenous and Content Creator scholarships available. No formal qualifications or prior industry experience are required to apply.
Applications close February 19, 2026.
AWARD School head and BMF creative director Josie Fox said the 2026 program is for people ready to push their ideas harder.
“If you’re curious, motivated and prepared to put the work in, this is the moment to apply,” Fox said.
“AWARD School is about understanding how strong ideas are built and refined, and gaining perspectives that can shape where your career goes next.”
