Entries are now open across Film, Television, Documentary, and Short Film categories for the AACTA Awards, to be held in Queensland.

Earlier this year, the Australian Academy announced the move of all major events to the Gold Coast, including the AACTA Awards Ceremony, ScreenFest, and the AACTA International Awards, all slated for early 2024. This change will position the Australian Academy in the international award season alongside the Oscars and BAFTAs and extends the eligibility period to include film and television/streaming productions released in the 2023 calendar year.

With more than 50 different award categories across film, television, documentary, and short film, the AACTA Awards showcase and celebrate Australian stories, culture, and creativity on the big and small screens. All award categories from the previous year will return with further details regarding digital awards to be announced soon.

Please note the entry deadlines vary for each category, with October 16 the deadline for Television/Streaming.
