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. As of 2020, the Golden Sheaf Award categories included: Main Entry Categories, Accompanying Categories, Craft Categories, and Special Awards.[6]
In 2004 the Golden Sheaf Award for best Aboriginal was added to the Accompanying Categories and continued to be awarded annually until the 2017 film festival competition. The winner of this award is determined by a panel of jurors,[7] selected by the film council. The submission rules specify that productions can either be fiction or non-fiction and need to "explore issues relating to aboriginal peoples, tell aboriginal stories or present an aboriginal perspective. At least one of the key creative positions (producer, writer or director) must be a person of aboriginal descent."[8]
