So, this year’s nominees for the TV WEEK Logie Awards have been announced, and what an impressive line-up it is!
But, if you’ve ever wondered how it all works, let us guide you through some common burning questions.
Q) Once nominees are announced, can I vote for the winner?
A) No, unfortunately not. The voting period has now ended and the shortlist of nominees have been announced. Winners will be announced at the 2017 TV WEEK Logie Awards on Sunday, April 23 in Melbourne.
Q) What awards will be handed out on the night?

Q) But what if I don’t like who is nominated for Gold?
A) Well, we hope everyone is excited about the list of nominees that the public vote for. We would like to stress again, that these categories are all based on the public vote. So whoever is nominated, we can’t argue with the fact that they are the most popular. The numbers don’t lie.
Q) My favourite actor/actress wasn’t on the list when I went to vote. Can I add them to the list?
A) Unfortunately not. Each network has a set number of people/shows they can put forward to be nominated, and with so much talent around it can be hard to make a shortlist.
Q) Can I buy a ticket to the Logies?
A) Unfortunately this isn’t an event open to the public. However, by submitting your vote, you will automatically go into the draw to win the ultimate VIP prize, including two tickets to join all your favourite stars at the 2017 TV WEEK Logie Awards! You can only vote once, but if you purchase TV WEEK during the voting period you will receive the TV WEEK code word that will give you bonus entries into the prize draw when you vote.
