The Green Room Awards Association (GRAA) is Victoria's peak body for honouring excellence and innovation across our vibrant Arts sector. As peer-presented Performing Arts Industry awards, the Green Room Awards recognise outstanding achievements in productions from Cabaret, Contemporary and Experimental Performance, Dance, Independent Theatre, Music Theatre, Opera, and Theatre Companies. The awards acknowledge the contributions of the many diverse Artists and Technicians who create work in our local industry. The Green Room Awards were established in 1982, with our first Awards Ceremony taking place in 1984 celebrating works seen in 1983. We are an entirely voluntary organisation, from the Executive Committee to the Panel Chairs, from the Panel Members to our hosts, presenters and patron. We all give of our time because we all believe that acknowledging the work of our peers not only recognises their outstanding achievements, but contributes to a stronger, more exciting and innovative industry that is better for performance makers and audiences alike.
