Gertrude Langer Ensemble Award

Queensland Arts Council's esteemed chamber music awards, the Gertrude Langer Ensemble Award is presented by QAC in association with the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University.

Dedicated to the memory of Dr Gertrude Langer, the founder of QAC, this annual award is presented to the ensemble adjudged the finest from the wealth of talent attending the Queensland Conservatorium.

Photographer for a Year

Each year QAC and Griffith University select a budding photographer from students enrolled to complete their Masters at Queensland College of Art. The scholarship provides the recipient with valuable professional experience by being commissioned to shoot various promotional images for QAC.  This is a fantastic opportunity for a young person to gain professional development throughout the year by working to a professional brief and seeing the results of their work utilised in a myriad of ways.
