The Award of Excellence is selected by the Executive and Council of ACTRA Toronto.
Colin Mochrie accepts the 2010 ACTRA Toronto Award of Excellence.
Members can submit performances for consideration as often as they like, in any category, provided the submission meets the following criteria:
- Performances can only be submitted by ACTRA Toronto members whose membership status is in good standing. Suspended, Resigned or Withdrawn members are ineligible to make submissions.
- The performance must be a lead or supporting role.
- The nominated performance must be from an ACTRA-signatory production.
- The production can be indigenous or international, and in any format (TV series, MOW, feature or short film).
- Eligible productions must have had their first exhibition or broadcast between the eligible dates, which will be announced on this website.
The deadline for performance submissions will be announced via this website. Submissions can only be made online.
A short list of award nominees, five performers in each category, will be determined by a nominating jury of peers. The award recipients will be chosen by a separate jury of peers.
