The Joseph Jefferson Awards (The Jeff Awards) are given annually by a volunteer non-profit committee to acknowledge excellence in theatre in the Chicago area. Founded in 1968, the awards are given in tribute to actor Joseph Jefferson. Two types of awards are given: Jeff "Awards" are for work done under an Actors' Equity Association contract, while Jeff "Citations" are for non-union work. Award recipients are determined by a secret ballot supervised by an independent auditor.
