The AFI Members' Choice Award, was a film award, presented to an Australian feature-length film that was voted for by members of the Australian Film Institute (AFI) from 2009. The last award was presented by the newly formed Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) in the inaugural AACTA Awards in 2011.

History

Prior to the establishment of AACTA in 2011, the award was presented by AFI at the annual Australian Film Institute Awards (more commonly known as the AFI Awards) from 2009–2010.[1] The award is presented at the AACTA Awards Luncheon, a black tie event which celebrates achievements in film production, television, documentaries and short films.[2][3]

The name was still used at the inaugural AACTA Awards in 2011,[4] but was dropped in the 2nd edition of the new awards.[5]
