The AIDC Awards will return in 2024 to recognise outstanding completed works of new Australian documentary and factual content across six categories, with a presentation to be held at the AIMC on the closing night of AIDC 2024, which will be Wednesday, March 6.

Submissions are now being taken in the following categories:
1. Best Feature Documentary
2. Best Documentary/Factual Series
3. Best Documentary/Factual Single
4. Best Short-Form Documentary
5. Best Audio Documentary ($3,000 cash prize presented by AFTRS)
6. Best Interactive/Immersive Documentary

The AIDC Awards categories celebrate the talent and expertise of Australian content creators across long and short-form documentary and factual content, as well as non-traditional areas of audio documentary and other forms of documentary storytelling through new and emerging media. Each category is assessed by an independent jury who are experts in their field.
