To be eligible for an award, the performer must not receive remuneration for the performance or for working in or on the production. The only exception to this rule is the reimbursement of costs associated with purchasing items for the production or travel to or from rehearsals/performances.
Please contact APT Awards if you are unsure whether a performer is eligible to be nominated for this category.
Best Young Performer
Best Young Performer will be considered from adult and youth/school productions. A young performer is considered 18 years or under at the time of the first performance, unless a full time secondary student, in which case an older performer will also be considered for this category if in a youth/school productions.
A Youth can be nominated for both Best Performer and Best Young Performer categories but can only win one of
the awards. Eg if a youth wins the Best Performer (adult category) for playing say Oliver in Oliver Twist, then they are not eligible to win the Best Young Performer (youth category) for the same role and performance and vice versa.

The APT Awards are happy to attend alternate performances, giving all performers an opportunity to be recognised in their role(s).

This award honours inaugural APT Awards member Kylie Wilson who died from cancer in 2020. A dedicated supporter of local theatre, Kylie was ecstatic when she was given the opportunity to direct one of her favourite musicals ‘Company’.
