These are two AFI (Australian Film Institute) awards won by Storm Boy in 1977. One is for best film of the year, and the other is the Jedda award. The awards are made from black perspex and bronze, which has been cast to look like a piece of sprocketed film with the Australian Film Award logo at top and year at bottom. The bronze-coloured metal plaque on the top is engraved with text: 'Australian Film Award, Storm Boy, Best Film of the Year, Produced by Matthew Carroll for the South Australian Film Corporation'. The other reads: 'Australian Film Award, Storm Boy, Jedda Award, Produced by Matthew Carroll for the South Australian Film Corporation'
