With less than one week until entries close, now is the time to finalise your submission for the Research Got Talent Award 2021.

Inaugural winner (2020) Steph Perry said of the competition: "The experience has been a highlight in my reasonably short career in market research and reinforces that this is my industry, and these are my people. I can't wait to learn more, experience more and enjoy more in my career as a social and market researcher. This project has made me a more effective researcher and a more conscientious global citizen – ready for the next challenge."

With the judging panel, including representatives from charities Rotary NSW and The Australian Red Cross, the RGT 2021 Award is a testament to the value that research and insights bring to socially responsible causes. 

AMSRO is delighted to welcome the judges for this years' RGT Award and thank them (in advance) for investing time and expertise in this valuable initiative: John Given OAM, Rotary NSW and Stacie Haber, Australian Red Cross, who join industry leaders and decision-makers: Lucas Wan from GiftPay; Nora Hungershoefer, Lu.cid; Lisa Lewers, Lewers Research; and AMSRO Members: Dianne Gardiner, Bastion Insights; Katie Ferro, Stable Research; Sally Joubert, Luma Research; Caroline Tomiczek, Urbis and industry advisor Rob McLachlan, former Chairman, Kantar.  

AMSRO would also like to thank our sponsors for their enthusiasm and support, without whom the competition could not go ahead: Lu.cid, Lewers Research, Luma Research, GiftPay and Stable Research. 

The Research Got Talent Award competition seeks young researchers who want to make a difference.  It is open to young research professionals aged 18-35 who are AMSRO member organisation employees or work for an ESOMAR Australian-based member (individual or corporate). Entrants can work individually or in a pair. The Australian winner is automatically entered into ESOMAR's global competition, giving them a unique opportunity to present their work (virtually) to an international audience at the ESOMAR Congress, to be held in September 2021.

 Entries close at 5.00 pm on Monday 29 March 2021.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for their support in 2021
