1985-2003: GOFTA Awards

Guild of Film and TV Arts started administering the GOFTA awards in 1986. The results listed in this section come from the records held by AFTA (Academy of Film and Television Arts) which administered the Film Awards and Television Awards.

The Gofta itself began as a two foot wide sculptured karaka spray, designed by Terry Stringer. By 1986 it seems to have become a large medallion with a  karaka spray motif. 

The Film Awards and Television Awards used to be run as a joint ceremony until 2000 when they were split into two separate events.
