2022 Australian Directors’ Guild (ADG) Awards – Submissions

June 30, 2022 - July 31, 2022

Submissions are open for this year’s Australian Directors’ Guild (ADG) Awards, with prizes to be handed down across 20 categories.

In some notable changes, a new award will be presented for Best Direction in a Debut Feature Film. Entries for this award can be narrative, documentary, or animation and the category has no budget requirements. There is also a new award for Best Direction in an Online Mobile-First Series Episode.

Two other feature film categories have been renamed; Best Direction in a Narrative Feature Film (Budget $1M or over) and Best Direction in a Narrative Feature Film (Budget under $1M). These categories have also been expanded to include feature films made for streaming and television as well as for theatrical release. Elsewhere, the Drama Serial category has been merged with Best Direction in a TV or SVOD Drama Series Episode.

The ADG will once again honour the much-loved First AD ‘JC’ John Clabburn’s incredible achievements and extraordinarily collaborative spirit with an Award presented in his name at the 2022 awards.
