The JC Williamson Award Committee, appointed by Live Performance Australia, decides on who will receive the annual JC Williamson Award.
1. The principal criterion to guide the Committee in its deliberations whether to select a Candidate to receive an Award is whether the Candidate has made an outstanding contribution to the Industry.
2. In considering whether a Candidate has made an outstanding contribution to the Industry, the Committee is to have regard to the Candidate’s:
(a) achievement in his or her chosen fields within the Industry;
(b) positive impact on the Industry; and
(c) length of service within the Industry, although this is of less weight than the
matters in paragraphs (a) and (b) and does not determine eligibility.
3. The Committee considers Candidates irrespective of their chosen field, location or nationality including, but not only, Candidates:
(a) from all Artistic Disciplines;
(b) from all parts of Australia;
(c) who are Australian citizens who, by excelling on the world stage, made an
outstanding contribution to the Industry; and
(d) who are foreign citizens who made an outstanding contribution to the Industry
within Australia.
4. The Committee considers candidates for their contribution as a performer, administrator, entrepreneur, member of the media, writer, director, politician or in any other capacity which the Committee considers warrants recognition.
