New Members in 2013
06 June 13
See the list of new members joining the Academy in 2013.
Although our membership numbers are capped - meaning there is a limit to the number of individuals we can accept in any given year - we strive to ensure that new views and experience are welcomed into the Academy.
The priority for admitting new members with Awards voting rights is that they have direct experience of the roles which are judged in the relevant Awards.
However, we also try to be representative of the industry as a whole within our membership.
