History

In 1947 the Yorkton Film Council was founded.[1]:6 The first Yorkton Film Festival was held in 1950.[2] During the first few festivals, the films were adjudicated by audience participation through ballot casting and winners were awarded 'Certificates of Merit' by the film council.[3][4] In 1958 the film council established the Yorkton Film Festival Golden Sheaf Award for the category 'Best of Festival', awarded to the best overall film of the festival.[5]

In 1973 the Golden Sheaf Award for Animation was added to the Main Categories. The winner of this award is determined by a panel of jurors[6] to select the best film or video that tells a story based primarily on frame by frame or computer-assisted animation techniques.[7] In 2020 the Golden Sheaf Award categories included the Main Entry Categories, Accompanying Categories, Craft Categories, and Special Awards.[8]
