The Young Film Awards, organized by the Young Film Academy (YFA), is an annual event established in 1998 that celebrates and recognizes international young filmmaking and screen acting talent aged 8-18. The awards ceremony, which has been held in London at venues such as the Prince Charles Cinema, includes an "Open Category" established in 2024 to acknowledge young filmmakers globally, beyond those participating in YFA's courses. Films submitted for consideration must be narrative fiction, no more than 10 minutes in duration, and completed after a specific date. The event presents statuettes and certificates to winners, with winning films often made available for viewing on the YFA website.
