The Boa Awards 2027

BOA Awards NSW 2026

The BOA Awards shine a spotlight on the talent, passion, creativity and artistry of the NSW burlesque community.

This special night honours the rich legacy of burlesque while celebrating the performers, producers, creatives and communities shaping its future. From established legends who have paved the way to the exciting emerging artists bringing fresh ideas, perspectives and artistry to the stage, BOA is a celebration of where burlesque has come from and where it's going next.

With awards across diverse categories, the BOA Awards recognise the incredible range of talent that exists within our scene, while creating space for voices and contributions that haven't always received the recognition they deserve.

But BOA isn't just about the awards. It's a SHOW.

Expect glamour, spectacle, incredible performances, outrageous creativity and a room full of people who love this art form as much as you do.

In 2026, we're taking BOA back to the community, with more performances, cheaper tickets, special gifts for winners and performers, and the option to enjoy dinner alongside the celebrations.

Come dressed up. Come celebrate your favourites. Come champion the legends, cheer on the emerging artists and experience the magic of Australian burlesque.

The BOA Awards are a celebration of our history, our artistry and our future. 💋
