PAC Australia’s IMPACT Awards celebrate excellence in performing arts presenting across the country.
This is your chance to recognise the work, people and performing arts centres that inspire you and strengthen the live performance sector. At a time when many of us might be carrying heavy loads, the IMPACT Awards make space for celebrating the good and the impact live performance has on us and our communities.
The criteria for the IMPACT awards are intentionally broad as impact can take many forms, and to reflect the complexity and diversity of our ever-evolving industry.
PAC Australia members can nominate each other, themselves and non-members.
Explore past winners and learn more about the IMPACT Awards and what nominations will be considered.
In 2026 we welcome back Charcoalblue as our IMPACT Award Partner, with a special bonus for the winner of the Performing Arts Centre of the Year award.
