Recognising Excellence Across Performance and Creative Media

Performer Awards is an international recognition platform honouring achievement across acting, filmmaking, photography, media, influence, podcasting, music and comedy.

Built on professional standards and structured evaluation, Performer Awards brings together performers, creators and industry institutions within one cohesive annual programme.
