Through the AIDC Awards and the Stanley Hawes Award, AIDC recognises the talents and expertise of Australian practitioners across the nonfiction sector.
The AIDC Awards were established in 2021 to recognise the outstanding completed works of new Australian documentary and factual content across six categories.
AIDC's annual award for outstanding contribution to the Australian documentary sector is presented to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the Australian non-fiction sector.
