The ABC’s Trailblazers program provides a platform for individuals and groups of up to three working on projects to make regional Australia a better place.

Winners receive media support, networking and mentorship opportunities and an all-expenses-paid trip to Canberra.

The Trailblazers program is for inspiring young people aged 18-to-28 who are dedicated to making regional Australia even better. Whether you’re a community leader, social entrepreneur, advocate, or event organiser, you are encouraged to apply to have your community projects come to life.
