Acceptance Speeches

Please be prepared to give an acceptance speech of 60 SECONDS OR LESS.

As a live awards show, the Doras have a strict maximum running time. If you exceed 60 seconds, you will be cued off the stage.

In addition to your personal remarks, TAPA recommends that you mention/thank the producing company of your nominated show, the Dora Awards jurors, sponsors of the award Division or specific cash sponsors for some categories, and TAPA.

Statue note: if you receive an award on stage, please support the statue with one hand under the base. Do not carry the statue by the circular “arms” at the top – they are fragile.

Photography notice: TAPA employs a dedicated photographer for the Awards ceremony and will share photos to social media, the TAPA website and TAPA communications.

Substitutions

The named award recipient may accept the Dora statue and deliver a thank-you speech on stage ONLY; no substitutions will be permitted.

If the recipient is unable to attend the ceremony, the on-stage VIP Dora presenters will accept the award on behalf of the recipient and the Dora Manager will contact the recipient to arrange a pickup from the TAPA office of their statue at a later date.
