The sold out event was hosted by Rachael Hocking, with special guests, the Honourable Chansey Paech and a Welcome to Country from Aunty Bilawara Lee.

A big thank you to all who attended, supported and helped make the night possible! Thank you to our event sponsor and award partner the Northern Territory Government, and to each of our other award partners: Canberra Centre, Robina Town Centre, RMIT, Country Road, and Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation. Thank you to marie claire, Darwin Festival, QIC, and to our panel of esteemed judges: Perina Drummond at Jira Models, Yatu Widders-Hunt at Cox Inall Ridgeway and the Australian Fashion Council, artist Lisa Waup, and Nimmi Premarratne at Country Road. A special thank you to our Principal Media partner NITV (National Indigenous Television), who will broadcast the NIFA nationally on Friday 18 August at 9.15pm.
