IF Awards set to recognise TV talent

This year’s Inside Film Awards are to extend their reach to television, seeking to honour a new face, and an actor’s career contribution.   

The announcement:

The IF Awards has today announced two new awards in television highlighting the Australian talent that has seen TV audiences on local productions break ratings records in the last 12 months. Many of our most celebrated film actors that are honoured each year at the IF Awards began their careers in television. To acknowledge these young television actors who are already bringing in larger than ever audiences on TV dramas such as Underbelly (3.1 million) Hawke (1.6 million) and Sea Patrol (1.16 million) IF wants to recognise our immense talent on the box as well as those people behind the scenes responsible for cultivating our local industry.

The IF Outstanding Contribution to Television award will acknowledge a person who has underpinned the strength of the industry over at least 10 years while the IF Out of The Box Award will recognise an emerging talent who is likely to make the jump to the big screen in the future.
