The 2023 Northern Territory (NT) Performing Arts Awards recognise outstanding achievement on stage and behind the scenes, as well as those who educate and inspire.

Established in 2019 by the We3 Alliance, an initiative of Tracks Dance, Corrugated Iron Youth Arts and Brown’s Mart Arts, the NT Performing Arts Awards are now presented by the NT Government to recognise excellence, spirit, community impact and legacy in the Northern Territory's performing arts sector.

The peer-judged awards will celebrate the people who make a creative difference to the NT community by honouring talented and inspiring artists and arts-workers who have made an impact in dance, music, theatre, musical theatre, opera, circus, physical theatre and comedy.
