The festival is a not-for-profit company, guided by a dedicated Board and an eminent Advisory Council. The festival also manages the national office of the enormously successful National Science Week. The Australian Science Festival Limited is an award-winning organisation. The festival won a Canberra Region Tourism Award and the Executive Director, Mary-Anne Waldren, won the ACT Telstra AusIndustry Business Woman of the Year Award in 1999.
