The AMPS Award for Excellence In Sound For A Feature Film recognises outstanding contributions by film sound professionals whose work brings cinematic storytelling to life through the creative and technical power of sound.

The Award honours the collaborative efforts of The Production Sound Mixer, Supervising Dialogue/ADR Editor, Supervising Sound Editor or Sound Designer, and Re-recording Mixer. The Production Sound Mixer may nominate a Key 1st Assistant Sound, recognising exceptional teamwork and ensuring all critical contributors are acknowledged. 

Now in their 13th year, the AMPS awards celebrate excellence and dedication across five categories: Feature Films, Television Dramas, Factual Films, Production Audio Products and Post-Production Audio Products. The awards have become a significant fixture in the industry calendar, highlighting the vital role sound plays in storytelling across screen media. 

The AMPS Awards have a strong track record of identifying future BAFTA and Academy Award winners. Last year Dune: Part Two, recipient of the 2025 AMPS Feature Film Sound Award, continued this tradition. Over the past 12 years AMPS Feature Film Sound recipients have gone on to secure the BAFTA Award on 11 occasions and the Academy Award 8 times, underlining the prestige and industry recognition associated with the AMPS honour.
