The night was one to remember - the industry was finally reunited for a night of joy, laughs and celebration of the hard work throughout 2020 and 2021.

ARV would like to extend a huge thanks to Platinum Sponsor Perfect Gym for their continued support to bring the event to fruition.
Our Gold Sponsors Roejen Services and UPR Plumbing returned to also support the event through sponsoring multiple awards. We also thank the wider group of sponsors for their support of the evening.

The event was hosted by Clint Stanaway who graciously made time within his busy Wide World of Sports schedule to join us.

The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre provided exceptional service and attention to detail, and catered a wonderful dinner and provided excellent services.

We also enjoyed music thanks to Unlimited Cover Band, who brought the house down with their exceptional performance.

Thank you to our circus performers and magician for bringing the Circus to life.

Most of all, we thank our industry and ARV Members for showing up to celebrate ARV's pinnacle event in a COVID-safe way. Without all of the industry members who attended, we could not have had so much fun.

Congratulations to the 2021 Winners
