2010 GKVIA Application Form
The Geoff Knights Viticulture Innovation Award is an initiative of the Barossa Viticulture Technical Group (BVTG). The award is aimed at providing a grower, viticulturist or industry participant with the opportunity to explore an innovative viticultural idea or topic through study, travel or a project that can deliver benefits to the Barossa wine industry. The award is a great opportunity for individuals to further their knowledge and careers, and seeks to involve such people in regional organisations and the Barossa's future.
The award provides a stipend of $10,000 to the successful recipient. Anyone over the age of 18 is encouraged to apply and no entry qualifications are required.
Applications for the 2010 Award are now open. Application forms can be downloaded here. Please email completed applications to barossaviticulture@gmail.com or post to Barossa Viticulture Technical Group, PO Box 420, Tanunda, SA, 5352.
