Avanti - The Annual Avanti Awards are the premier awards for both broadcast and non-broadcast media in South Africa.

From 1994 to 2000, Desireé conceptualised, produced and staged the annual National Television Avanti Awards. When Desiree was co-opted onto this event in 1994 it was an intimate lunch function at the Rosebank Hotel with an audience of 200 people.

Under Desireé's guidance and vision, this event became the premiere television awards event broadcast on SABC 2 and 3, with entries from SABC, M-NET and ETV as well as all independently produced South African material, and in April 2000 the event was staged at Helderfontein Estate to a live audience of over 1500 people.

Desireé and her team were solely responsible for conceptualising, creating, producing and staging the various events. From video walls, to live musical performances and scripting of presenters, through to raising all the funding and sponsorship for the event, all this was part of the overall project and the success of the event over the years.
