IF Awards
Main article: IF AwardsIF Magazine ran the IF Awards from 1999 until 2011, with various sponsors acquiring naming rights over the years. The awards were determined by a national audience poll, which differentiated it from the Australian AACTA Awards, which are judged by industry professionals. In 2012 it was announced that they would be put "on hold", owing to changing economic circumstances and competition with the AACTA Awards, which had moved to Sydney in 2011.
