Dennis Charles recognised at NT Young Achiever Awards
17 April 2012
Congratulations to PAW Media Worker Dennis Charles who was awarded two finalist certificates at the recent NT Young Achiever Awards held in Darwin. Despite strong competition, Dennis succeeded in reaching the top three of the Territory-wide Awards in two categories. He missed out on a trophy on the night, but said, 'It [was] wonderful to come here and see all these other young people achieving...and not sitting at home in front of the TV'. Dennis was one of only two Indigenous young people in the NT to get through to the finals. He was nominated for his strong commitment to media projects, especially radio, in Yuelamu and other communties. The ceremony was also attended by Central Desert Shire President, Adrian Dixon.
