Telstra Ballet Dancer Awards

The Telstra Ballet Dancer Award has been made annually since 2003, in support of the aspirations of The Australian Ballet's elite young dancers. The winner receives a cash prize of $20,000. This is the biggest prize available specifically to a dancer in Australia.

Nominees are selected by The Australian Ballet and previous award winners. A judging panel composed of representatives from The Australian Ballet, Telstra and the media selects the winner based on "the artistic quality of their work, the strength of a written submission, their personal development, and future potential."

The awards are announced in early December, usually in the Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House (venue for Sydney seasons by The Australian Ballet).

In 2019, the awards were announced on the Sydney opening night of Peter Wright's The Nutcracker on 30 November 2019.

The 2018 awards were announced on the opening night of Alexei Ratmansky's Cinderella on 30 November 2018.

In 2017, as the Joan Sutherland Theatre was unavailable, the company's Sydney November–December season took place at the Capitol Theatre. The announcement of the award winners was made on 5 December 2017, opening night of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The 2016 awards were announced on the opening night of Coppélia on 2 December 2016.

The 2015 awards were announced on the opening night of The Sleeping Beauty on 3 December 2015.
