The Golden Sheaf Award for best Drama production is presented by the Yorkton Film Festival.

History[]

In 1947 the Yorkton Film Council was founded.[1]: 6  The first Yorkton Film Festival was held in 1950[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 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] As of 2020, the Golden Sheaf Award categories included: Main Entry Categories, Accompanying Categories, Craft Categories, and Special Awards.[6]

In 1984 the Golden Sheaf Award for best Drama was added to the main categories. The winner of this award is determined by a panel of jurors[7] chosen by the film council to select the best film that is primarily centered on a dramatic portrayal of characters, settings, life situations and stories.[8]
