---|---|
Formerly called | Best Original Score for a Documentary Film |
First awarded | 2008 |
The International Film Music Critics Association Award for Best Original Score for a Documentary is an annual award given by the International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA). Established in 2008, the award is given to the composer of a film or television score for a documentary based on two criteria: the effectiveness, appropriateness and emotional impact of the score in the context of the film for which it was written; and the technical and intellectual merit of the composition when heard as a standalone listening experience."[1] The eligibility period runs January 1 through December 31 every year, and IFMCA members vote for the winner the following February.
When the award was established in 2008, it was called "Best Original Score for a Documentary Feature"[2] and only documentary films were eligible. Eligibility was expanded in before the 2011 awards[citation needed] to include documentary TV shows. In 2020, the award was renamed to reflect the new criteria.
