Northern Territory Performing Arts Awards

The Northern Territory Performing Arts Awards celebrate the outstanding talent, creativity and achievements of the Territory’s vibrant performing arts community.

Each year, these prestigious awards honour the performers, producers, directors and educators whose work shapes the Territory’s cultural identity — sharing powerful stories, strengthening connections and enriching our communities.

Taking place for the first time at the INPEX Sunset Stage in Festival Park as part of Darwin Festival, we invite you to join us in celebrating the NT’s performing arts sector, while also enjoying premiere entertainment from some of the NT’s finest performing artists plus some special Festival guests.

Nominations for the NTPAA’s are now open, and will close on Monday 6 July. Find out more about the categories and how to nominate here.
