Why partner with us
Foster potential business opportunities with other sponsoring partners, and increase your company’s profile across the Australian and international market.
Reach and engage influential film professionals with your targeted marketing, sampling and promotional offerings.
Raise your company’s profile and exposure by sponsoring AFIN’s awards, events and programmes, with exclusive access.
Build your contacts and mingle with stars and industry professionals from Australia and abroad at the awards and special events.
Our most-wanted partnership
The most prestigious way to partner: put your brand on an AFIN award category. “Best Cinematography, presented by your brand” is announced from the stage on Awards Night, printed in the event booklet, carried on the winner’s certificate, and lives on across the results archive for years. It is exactly how brands like RODE and Blackmagic partner with festivals: proven, prestigious, and yours to shape with a sponsorship fee to AFIN, an in-kind prize for the winner, or both.
Available to Gold partners and above on craft and special categories, up to four an edition. Best Film, Best Director and the performance awards are never presented by a sponsor, and a presenting partner has no part in judging.

The calibre we recognise
Sponsoring AFIN attaches your brand to a body of genuinely accomplished work. These figures are computed live from the AFIN Archive, updated every festival.

“The AFIN Festival just honoured me with a best actress award for playing Annie in South of Heaven…probably the most wonderful experience I’ve ever had making a character come to life. Thank you AFIN, I guess it just goes to show that joy in what you do shines through.”

In good company
Premium vitamins and wellness supplements from Bullivant's Natural Health Products, with a gift for AFIN members.
An offer from one of our sponsors. This is Natural Nutrition Plus's own offer, run on their website under their own terms. AFIN does not run it or check it, and is not responsible for it, and we share none of your details with them. Please read their terms before you sign up: when we listed it (15 Oct 2026), the gift was a supplement for $12 shipping that starts a subscription with a minimum of three months.
