Description
[edit]IF Magazine is a bi-monthly print magazine[1] as well as a website, if.com.au,[6] serving as a trade publication for screen-content professionals in Australia and New Zealand.[7][8]
The magazine's content includes original research in specially-commissioned articles[1][9] that are unique. It covers Australian film and television, distribution, exhibition, digital media, marketing, finance, as well as detailed reporting on the Australian film industry.[1]
The magazine is available online by subscription on Informit from Issue 41 (February 2002).[10]

Recognition
[edit]In 2000, the magazine was the co-winner of the AACTA Byron Kennedy Award, along with Popcorn Taxi film festival.[2][13]
IF Awards
[edit]IF Magazine ran the IF Awards[13] from 1999 until 2011, with various sponsors acquiring naming rights over the years.[14] The awards were determined by a national audience poll, which differentiated it from the Australian AACTA Awards, which are judged by industry professionals.[14] In 2012 it was announced that they would be put "on hold", owing to changing economic circumstances and competition with the AACTA Awards, which had moved to Sydney in 2011.[15][14]
