Launched at BAFTA in December 2019, the makers & shakers Awards celebrate excellence in global production. After two successful award ceremonies, we will once again spotlight innovative and impactful contributions made by production professionals, freelancers, film commissions, government film liaison offices, studios, production services, support businesses and facilities.
We believe it is important to recognise the achievements of professionals who work tirelessly to facilitate and support the work of creatives. While traditional awards are fantastic at honouring the best creative work, they often overlook the achievements of professionals who pioneer change within the global industry. This is why the makers & shakers Awards was born: with the intention of celebrating exceptional work that is being done on the ground.
The Awards are free to enter
and you can nominate yourself, your team or an organisation.
The entries for 2022 will open on the 17th of May . To qualify for an award, the work must have been completed between 1st January 2021 – 31st July 2022 .
