Voter Registration 2021

We welcome registrations from past BIFA nominees and those who were HoDs on films nominated in the following categories:

Best British Independent Film
Best Director
Best Actor/Actress/Supporting Actor/Supporting Actress
Best Documentary

We also welcome industry professionals who haven't worked on BIFA-nominated films but who have significant (three or more years) experience in independent feature film production or the wider industry (eg sales, marketing, distribution).

If this applies to you, we also require a reference. We accept references from current BIFA voters, or other members of the industry with whom you have worked in a professional capacity.

You can read a bit more about what's involved with BIFA voting here.
