PINNACLE AWARDS

An evening of recognition and acknowledgement, celebrating excellence in the WA performing arts sector.

The awards are open to any and all performing arts producers and presenters. Nominations for the 2026 Pinnacle Awards will open on Tuesday 10 March.

CRITERIA

The criterion for the awards is ‘excellence’ in all its forms. Your experience with a producer or presenter may be as a result of a tour, partnership or collaboration.

For producer nominations, please think about creativity, quality, diversity, inclusion, engagement and contribution to communities as a whole.

For presenter nominations, please think about their leadership in their communities, curating high quality arts experiences, and delivering on creative performing arts goals.

The nominations will be considered and voted upon by a panel consisting of previous Pinnacle Award winners and WA Showcase delegates.
