Event Sponsorships
The Master Plumbers Excellence Awards are Victoria’s premier celebration of the plumbing industry, backed by more than 130 years of credibility and influence. The event brings together industry leaders, businesses, apprentices and decision-makers from across the state.
Following sold-out events at Melbourne Zoo and the MCG, the refreshed awards format delivers greater sponsor visibility across a broader and more diverse audience, showcasing excellence across all sectors of the industry.
Sponsorship opportunities are limited and highly sought after, with first preference provided to existing Corporate Partners and Members. Early commitment maximises brand exposure through integrated marketing, event recognition and promotional opportunities included in each sponsorship package.
