Winners are grinners at the Oasis Ball

The Oasis Ball committee once again outdid themselves with the ambienceof the room at this year’s ball. Sandra Devahasdin and her team did anoutstanding job – creating an Oasis of Japanese grace and beauty.

Greeted by graceful Japanese girls throwing flowers from their podiums for the red carpet arrivals, then champagne and sushi were served with geisha girls on very high stilts complete with fans and umbrellas mixed in with the pre dinner crowd. When entering the ballroom guests were overwhelmed with a fabulous room with the colour red featuring everywhere.

Then of course there was the record amount ofmoney raised on the night for the Salvation Army’s Crossroads WestProgram. Adam Marshall from the Oasis Committee said: “Despite thecontraction in the local industry of late, the whole market cametogether in the major auction with a record amount of inventory donatedby media owners, and a record amount of bids from agencies and otherbuyers. In total, the major auction raised over $200k which I think isphenomenal and  a great endorsement of the culture of the ad industryin WA.”

Of course there were some very important awards handed outas well. Here are some photos of the room and these award winners onstage.
