About the ACTRA Awards in Toronto

The ACTRA Awards celebrate outstanding lead and supporting performances by ACTRA Toronto members. The Awards are an opportunity to applaud the artistic achievements of our peers, who include some of Canada's most gifted performers.

Any member in good standing (Full, Apprentice, ACTRA Additional Background) can submit any member's work for consideration in one of these three categories:

• Outstanding Performance – Male
• Outstanding Performance – Female
• Outstanding Performance – Voice.

Submissions in each category must meet the following criteria:

• Performances can only be submitted by ACTRA Toronto members whose membership status is in good standing. (Suspended, Resigned or Withdrawn members can't make submissions.)
• The performance must be by an ACTRA Toronto member in good standing.
• The performance must be in a Principal (lead or supporting) role.
• The nominated performance must be from an ACTRA-signatory production – domestic or international, and in any format.
• Productions must have had their first exhibition or broadcast during the year's eligibility period of November 9th, 2010 to October 31, 2011 to be considered for the 10th Annual ACTRA Awards in Toronto.

The deadline for submissions for the 10th Annual ACTRA Awards in Toronto is November 8, 2011.

A short list of Award Nominees, five performances in each category, is established by a nominating jury of members. Award recipients are chosen by a separate jury of members. If you have any further questions about the submission process, please contact us.
