The Annual KidzFlicks Awards
Every film submitted to the Sydney International Festival of Films by Children is considered for the Annual KidzFlicks Awards. Up to five films are nominated for each category.
The Awards recognise the achievements of Australian and International child filmmakers in key creative roles, with additional awards for best films in each genre.
Each Award is sponsored by an important guild, association or other organisation from the Australian professional film industry. You can find out more about these important organisations on our Supporters pages.
