Your guide to the BDA account and participation options.
How do I create a BDA account?
Use the Create account page. If registration is available, complete the form and follow the email verification instructions.
Do I need an account to browse?
You can browse the informational pages without an account. Participation options may require a logged-in account with a verified email address.
Does my BDA Pass confirm Gala attendance?
No. Request your BDA Pass and confirm Gala attendance separately when available. Manage both through My BDA.
How do activity registrations work?
Check the program. Each activity shows its access type and any registration or capacity requirements.
How can I apply, nominate or vote?
Visit Awards and select the relevant action. Eligibility, category configuration and server-enforced deadlines determine which actions are available.
Where do I find my account activity?
My BDA brings together your pass, program, registrations, votes and applications. Jury access is reserved for assigned jury accounts.
What if I cannot see a form or button?
The workflow may be unavailable, your account may need verification, or no eligible category or activity may currently be open. Logging in as an administrator does not make the account an eligible participant, DJ or juror.
