Voting

Voting in the AACTA Awards determines which productions, performers and practitioners will be honoured with Australia's highest screen accolade - an AACTA Award. Voting is exclusive to AACTA members, drawn from every sector of the screen industry: Free-to-Air Television, Streaming/SVOD/Subscription Television, Online, Film and Documentary.

Every AACTA Award will be decided by the people best placed to judge the work, through a process that's rigorous and representative. All award categories, with the exception of Short Film, will now be determined by Professional members only, strengthening the experience, expertise and integrity behind every result. Craft Awards in Film, Television and Documentary will be determined by the relevant professional Chapters, so each award is judged exclusively by members accredited in that craft.

A Pre-Selection Committee will shortlist the Short Film field before it opens to the broader membership including General and Youth members, whose voting participation is welcomed across this category. 

Best Online Drama or Comedy will be determined by a dedicated jury, recognising the online space as one of the industry's fastest-growing areas and a distinct creative discipline.
