The Ruby Awards 2024 celebrated the best of South Australia's arts, culture and creative sector at the invitation-only event at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens on Friday 29 November 2024.

Named in honour of the late Dame Ruby Litchfield, a dedicated patron of the arts, the Ruby Awards recognise excellence, creativity, innovation, community involvement, and inspirational leadership across the state’s vibrant arts and cultural sector.
This year’s winners were selected by a panel of judges representing South Australia’s arts and culture community.

Congratulations to all the remarkable recipients of this year’s Ruby Awards!

We also extend our gratitude to everyone in South Australia’s arts, culture and creative sector for continuing to create extraordinary work that deserves to be celebrated.
