Deadly Awards Nomination System

The Deadly Awards have been steadily expanding over the years. In 2010, several issues were raised by readers of the Koori Mail, including the need to ‘revamp’ the current nomination and voting system. In particular, it was suggested that the current system needed to be more transparent, equitable and accessible to all Aboriginal people regardless of location.

In early 2011, ACER conducted a review of the Deadly Awards’ nomination and voting system, on behalf of Vibe Australia. 

As part of this review, ACER has examined over 20 national and international awards and conducted telephone interviews with nine people who have sound knowledge of the Deadly Awards.
