Drama Australia Publications Sponsorship – 2026

Celebrating 50 Years of Drama Australia

In 2026, Drama Australia marks 50 years of supporting drama education across Australia. A central part of this legacy is the publication of high-quality research and professional practice through NJ: Drama Australia Journal and ADEM: Australian Drama Education Magazine.

Drama Australia invites individuals and organisations to support the future of these publications through sponsorship.

Both NJ and ADEM are fully open access and freely available to educators, researchers, and the wider community. We believe equitable access to drama education research and classroom practice is essential. However, producing these publications involves real and ongoing costs, including editing, peer review, design, production, digital hosting, and distribution. Drama Australia invests approximately $4,600 each year to produce NJ and ADEM.

Prior to 2022, NJ: Drama Australia Journal operated under a subscription model, with individual subscriptions costing $148. The transition to open access has significantly increased accessibility and global reach, but it has also removed a major source of publication income. Community sponsorship now plays an important role in sustaining open access.

Publications Sponsorship – 2026

Publications Sponsorship — $100

Sponsors will be acknowledged across NJ and ADEM, as well as on the Drama Australia website.

Sponsorship is open to individuals and organisations. Multiple sponsorships may be purchased.

Just 46 sponsorships fully support one year of open-access publication.

Note: Drama Australia is not a registered charity. Sponsorship is not tax-deductible and is not considered a donation.

Drama Australia acknowledges the following sponsors for 2024-2025
