The Australia Business Arts Foundation is calling for nominations from arts and cultural organisations, businesses, and individual artists for the 2010 AbaF Awards.

The AbaF Awards will be presented for the tenth time in 2010, to honour the best relationships between the arts and private sectors.

The best business arts partnerships and sponsorships, business volunteering relationships with the arts, and giving programs of arts organisations will be honoured. There will be awards for exceptional leaders from the fields of business, the arts and cultural philanthropy. Awards will be presented at state level and national level.

The AbaF Awards will be presented at state level in September, and at national level in October.

For the first time, in 2010 individual artists can enter the AbaF Giving Award and AbaF Business Volunteering Award.

Arts and cultural organisations can nominate exceptional board members for the AbaF Business Volunteering Award.

Entries close Friday 7 May 2010.
