Drama Victoria Awards
The Drama Victoria awards recognise excellence in drama education.
Not all awards are presented each year. Awards presented will depend on the nominations received for that year. Nominations must satisfactorily meet the criteria for an award to be presented in any category. For an award to be presented in a given year, two or more nominations must be submitted in the
relevant category.
The Drama Victoria Awards committee may add a category of award to this list should they wish to, for example, raise the profile of a certain area of drama education. Award categories and criteria will be reviewed from time to time.
To make a nomination for any of the categories listed below please email Daniel Betty on director@dramavictoria.vic.edu.au
