The MADC Champion of Creativity is a rare honour, not awarded annually, but reserved for those whose influence on Melbourne’s creative culture is both enduring and profound. To mark MADC’s 70th anniversary -- and a night celebrating the best of local creativity -- the title was presented to someone whose impact is undeniable: Ant Keogh.

For decades, Ant has helped shape Melbourne’s creative landscape and beyond. A true original and a generous leader, this is a well-deserved recognition that reflects his significant contribution to the industry.
