History

In 1947 the Yorkton Film Council was founded.[1]:6 In 1950 the first Yorkton Film Festival was held in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada.[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 festival 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.[3] Over the years various additional categories were added to the competition. As of 2020, the Golden Sheaf Award categories included: Main Entry Categories, Accompanying Categories, Craft Categories, and Special Awards.[5]

In 2004 the Golden Sheaf Award for best Research production was added to the Craft Categories of the film festival competition. The winner of this award is determined by a panel of jurors[6] chosen by the film council. The award "recognizes the contribution and role of the researcher in documentary production" and is awarded for the best "content/story research and/or archival stock shot research".[5]
