Annual awards for Australian Indigenous people
The NAIDOC Awards are annual Australian awards conferred on Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals during the national celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples known as NAIDOC Week . (The name is derived from National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee.)[ 1]
The committee
The awards are named after the committee that was originally responsible for organising the national activities to mark NAIDOC Week, the National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee.[ 1] Each year, a different city hosts the National NAIDOC Awards Ceremony. The host city, National NAIDOC Poster Competition and the NAIDOC Awards recipients are selected by the National NAIDOC Committee.[ 2] The awards are presented at the annual NAIDOC Awards Ceremony and Ball.[ 1]
Categories
The names of the categories have varied over time. In 1985 Awards for Aboriginal of the Year, and for Aboriginal young people aged 12 to 25 were introduced.[ 3]
As of 2022[update] the categories comprise:[ 4]
Person of the Year
Lifetime Achievement Award
Female Elder Award
Male Elder Award
Sportsperson Award
Youth Award
Creative Talent Award
Caring for Country and Culture Award
Education Award
Innovation Award
Poster
The first NAIDOC poster was created in 1972 to promote "Aborigines Day", which had been established as part of a campaign for better rights for Aboriginal people. The posters continued to reflect the spirit of protest until 1977, with titles like "Self Determination" and "Chains or Chance". The 1978 poster was different, reflecting the move from a single day of demonstration to a celebration lasting a week each July, after the new committee was established. The 1988 poster, "Recognise and Share the Survival of the Oldest Culture in the World" reflected the name change to NAIDOC, which formally included Torres Strait Islander people in the event. In the 1990s a competition to design the poster was introduced.[ 5]
