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.[5] Over the years various additional categories were added to the competition.

In 2004 the Aboriginal Award was added to the Golden Sheaf Award Accompanying Categories and continued to be awarded annually until the 2017 film festival competition. In the rules outlining qualifications for films in this category, it stated that either fiction or non-fiction productions that "[explored] issues relating to aboriginal peoples, [told] aboriginal stories or [presented] an aboriginal perspective. At least one of the key creative positions (producer, writer or director) must be a person of aboriginal descent."[6] The winner of this award was determined by a panel of jurors[7] who were selected by the film council.

As of 2020, the Golden Sheaf Award categories included: Main Entry Categories, Accompanying Categories, Craft Categories, and Special Awards.[8]
