History

The first Irish Film & Television Awards Ceremony took place in Dublin in 2003. Following the significant growth of the Irish film and television industry in recent years, the Academy in 2015 split the Awards into two distinct separate Ceremonies. The IFTA Film & Drama Awards and the IFTA Television Awards taking place in April and October respectively. Each Ceremony celebrates and honours the very best of Irish creative talent working in their respective fields across Film & Drama production and Television Programming. Through the two ceremonies the Academy showcases to the world what Ireland’s small but outstanding film and television community has to offer. Winners are presented with a unique cast bronze IFTA statuette.
