FOCAL Awards

The FOCAL International Awards celebrate achievement in using footage across all genres and media platforms, including its restoration.

Producers, filmmakers and other creative professionals who have used library or archival footage in all varieties of form, including through documentary or feature film productions, as well as any other form of production or across all media platforms during the calendar year of 2026 are invited to submit their work for consideration.

We also recognise the researchers, technicians and producers who access, maintain and use this precious resource with Awards on the night for best archive researcher, company and person, and restoration work.

The FOCAL International Awards 2027 submissions for the Production, Restoration, and Personnel categories are now open until Sunday, 13 February 2027.

Please review the 2027 Awards Entry Guidelines before submitting your entry.
