Changes

As well as the introduction of "live voting" for 10 categories, the total number of categories were reduced from 27 at last year's ceremony to 20. 10 of the categories were voted for by the public, while the remaining 10 Outstanding Awards were industry voted. [4] Publicly voted awards also reverted to being named "Most Popular" rather than "Best," which was introduced at the 2016 ceremony. [1]

With the ceremony being held later in the year than previous events to avoid clashing with the 2018 Commonwealth Games also being held on the Gold Coast, the nomination eligibility was extended, meaning shows airing before 31 March 2018 could qualify for nomination. [1] [9] This marked the first Logie Awards to be held on the Gold Coast, after the Government of Victoria stopped providing funding for the event. [3]
