The Screen Producer Australia (SPA) Awards are back for 2022, with winners from each category to be announced at an in-person ceremony on the final night of Screen Forever 37, taking place on Gold Coast from May 3-5, 2023.

The awards honour industry contributions and are the only awards voted solely by production businesses. With the awards ceremony scheduled for May 2023, the eligibility period has been extended and encompasses July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

Returning categories include Animated Production of the Year, Feature Film Production of the Year, Commissioner of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award, and the prestigious Media Super Production Business of the Year Award.

The peer-voted awards aim to capture the full scope of screen production and producers involved from across Australia. Since the inaugural awards in 2000, many of Australia’s most iconic producers and production businesses have been recognised for their success in taking Australian stories to the world.

Early bird entries open 12:01am AEST on September 1, and close at 12:00pm AEST, September 30, with all financial members of SPA eligible to enter.
