Vote

Submit your nominations for Australian Burlesque Icon Awards via the form below.

Include a short description of why your nominee deserves to be celebrated. A little love goes a long way.
Self-nominations are welcome - don’t be shy about celebrating yourself!
You can nominate multiple people, businesses, or events per category and submit the same nominee for different categories.
Submitting the same person for the same category multiple times doesn’t give them extra glitter - ‘Double Submitting’ will void the additional votes!

How Scoring Works:

Each category will be determined by a combination of 50% public vote and 50% judges’ vote, ensuring both community voice and expert insight are equally valued.

Judges will be provided with the top publicly-voted nominees for each category. From there, each judge will submit their individual rankings. To ensure fairness and eliminate bias, we’ll apply Olympic scoring – meaning the highest and lowest scores are discarded, and the remaining scores are averaged to form the final judges’ vote.

This balanced approach ensures a transparent, equitable, and representative outcome for all nominees.
