HEIA SA Award for Excellence

The HEIA SA Award for Excellence was initiated by the 2013 HEIA SA Executive Committee. The award was designed to replace the HEIA SA Perpetual Trophy, which had evolved over the years from it's orginal purpose to become an award for recognition of excellence. This change will allow for a modernisation of the trophy and clarity of the award's purpose. It is also hoped that with this clarity of purpose more nominations for the award will be received. The Award for Excellence Trophy was chosen to reflect the HEIA logo. The Flame of Learning that runs through the HEIA logo is represented in the trophy's design. The trophy is a handblown glass vase, etched with the trophy details.
