    The people backing year one

    Every name and logo on this page is part of building something South Australia hasn't had before. Year one runs on people who showed up before there was proof it would work.

    Founding supporters

    These are the people who funded ACAW before there was a programme, a partner list, or proof. They covered the gap between when budgets are written and when a first-time festival actually happens. If you want your name here too, add yours alongside.
