DOXA Short Documentary Award
The DOXA Short Documentary Award is an annual Canadian film award, presented to honour the best short documentary film screened at that year's DOXA Documentary Film Festival. The award frequently, but not always, presents an honorable mention in addition to the overall winner.
Unlike feature documentaries, for which DOXA presents the separate Colin Low Award for Canadian documentaries and Feature Documentary Award for international documentaries, a single award is presented for short documentaries inclusive of both Canadian and international films.
