Thank you very much to those of you that expressed interest in being a juror in 2009.
All juries are now full.
We have had an overwhelming response, as such many of you will have missed out of the opportunity this year. Please do express interest again in April 2010, we value your interest in the AFI Awards process.

Each AFI Awards jury is created with representatives across all industry crafts, jurors play an integral role in selecting this year’s AFI Award winners.

If you are a member of the AFI with professional film or television credits, you are eligible to become an AFI Awards juror. If you are not an AFI member, but are a member of another screen industry guild we urge you consider taking part in the AFI Awards by becoming a professional voting member.

Prospective jurors should be familiar with the 2009 AFI Awards Rule Book   and entry guidelines.  They should also not have any vested interest in any of the entries they will be assessing, and will be required to sign a statutory declaration to this effect.

Jurors will have a minimum of four weeks to view the relevant productions. An independent auditor will attend all meetings.

Please note that jurors’ names will be publicly released to ensure transparency and authenticity in the judging and voting process, however they will not be attributed to specific juries.

As part of the jury process, jurors will be required to:
• View all productions entered in their category
• Assess and shortlist selections prior to the jury meeting
• Participate in a jury meeting. All jury meetings will occur in Melbourne. Interstate jurors will participate via conference call.
• If selected for the Television Grand Jury (comprised of jurors from the three Television juries) additional viewing and participation in one additional meeting will be required.

The AFI is seeking industry professionals with relevant expertise to be a part of the following juries.
