Inside Film Awards

The Inside Film Awards (often abbreviated to IF Awards) is an annual awards ceremony for the Australian film industry, organised by "Inside Film" magazine. The awards are determined by a national audience poll, which differentiates it from the Australian Film Institute Awards, which are judged by industry professionals.

The event is held in November each year, and is broadcast on SBS television. The IF Awards were first held in 1999, and until 2006 were also known as the Lexus Inside Film Awards, in recognition of its principal sponsor, Lexus. In 2007, sponsorship included multiple broadcast and event partners.
