PHILANTHROPY

Since 2002, dance students from around the world have competed for the prestigious Sketa Oz Philanthropy Perpetual Trophies, Bursaries and Medals. 

Sketa Oz Philanthropy encourages, supports and rewards talented young dancers through annual sponsorship of the Sketa Oz Awards at State, National and overseas dance competitions – be they eisteddfods, festivals or specially organised events. 

​We track Australian talent across the globe! 

Sketa Oz Philanthropy also regularly catches up with young artists, to find out where they are today and what life has offered them in the 22 years since Sketa Oz Philanthropy began.
