Byron Kennedy Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Byron Kennedy Award was established in 1984 by the Australian Film Institute in honour of the late film producer Byron Kennedy.
"This is an accolade usually bestowed upon someone early in their career, whose quality of work is marked by their relentless pursuit of excellence."
It is accompanied by a A$10,000 cash prize sponsored by Kennedy Miller, Warner Brothers, Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Cinemedia and Steven Spielberg.
