Founding framework in developmentNo provision in this chapter has been adopted
Plain-language summary
Recognition cannot be bought. Where campaigning is permitted at all, it must stay entirely separate from advertising, sponsorship, editorial coverage and any commercial relationship within the wider Film & Stage family.
Plain-language summaries are provided for clarity. Where an approved formal rule exists, that formal rule governs in the event of any inconsistency.
Institutional principles
Recognition by the Film & Stage Awards must not be purchased, traded or secured through improper influence.
Campaign activity, where permitted, remains separate from sponsorship, advertising, editorial coverage, commercial partnerships and Film & Stage ecosystem participation.
A relationship with any Film & Stage property confers no eligibility, no nomination preference and no recipient status.
