🎭 Outstanding Performance
Someone who adapted their character in the truest way possible, showed great dance moves, shined with that ‘X factor’ or stunned with their ability to captivate the crowd. Gold Logie Worthy (or better, UHT Award Worthy)?!
💡Outstanding Lighting Design
Did a production you saw (or designed) shine a little light on things in an artistic and cohesive way? Could you see what you needed to see (and disguise what you didn’t!) Was there razzle and dazzle? Celebrate the designer behind it – put in a nom today.

A good sound design lifts the emotional impact of a production. Did you/ someone you know create a sound design so great it made an audience member jump out of their seats or made them burst into tears? Nominate them!
👨🏽🎤 Outstanding Costume/ Hair & Make-up
A costume, hair and make-up design so great, it made Hollywood sit up and take notice! Or just the audience at UHT! Both are excellent and award nom worthy. Do it!
🌇 Outstanding Set Design
Did a production's set design transform the theatres? Did the designer use flats and screws like you’d never believe?! Whether it was a grand & ambitious set or there were a few clever pieces that brought the world of the play to life - a good set can do wonders! Nominate your favourite set designer.
◼️ Outstanding Backstage Crew
Here's an appreciation for the quickest, smartest backstage crew. Reward your favourite stage manger/ production manager/ backstage crew for creating a show as smooth as Italian gelato.
