The ACT Chief Minister’s Inclusion Awards are an annual celebration recognising the outstanding achievements of people with disability within the ACT community. Damsel and Sprout was proud to be entrusted with end-to-end production for 2022, 2023 and 2024.

From first concept through to curtain call, we brought together every element needed to deliver evenings worthy of the remarkable people they celebrate.

An accessible evening, by design

An awards night celebrating inclusion has to embody it. Every element, from staging to seating to program pacing, was designed so every nominee and guest could participate fully.

Stories at centre stage

Video and scriptwriting put the nominees’ own stories at the heart of the evening, so the room celebrated people, not categories.

Trusted three years running

Consecutive engagements across 2022, 2023 and 2024 reflect the trust built with the Office for Disability and the community at the centre of the awards.
