ABOUT THE 10th ANNIVERSARY APDG AWARDS

The Australian Production Design Guild is thrilled to announce that we will be proceeding with the awards in 2021. Due to Covid-19 we have postponed the original event to the new date of November 7, 2021.  This year is a very special year for the guild, as we will be celebrating the 10^th Anniversary APDG Awards. 

In the event that there are still restrictions on November 7, the ceremony will proceed as a virtual event to ensure that all nominees and winners are recognised for their outstanding work. 
 
The Australian Production Design Guild Awards gather professionals from the Australian film, television, stage and interactive multimedia industries to celebrate the art of visually captivating audiences. Previously held in Sydney or Melbourne, Brisbane has been selected to host this milestone event, which will include a ceremony and post-awards soiree on the Queensland Terrace at the Queensland State Library.

Entries have now closed, if you would like to discuss your entry, please CONTACT US. Nominations were announced in July and you can see them HERE. Tickets will go on sale on September 7, 2021. If you have purchased a ticket for the original event date, we will be in touch to discuss your options.
