The Yorkton Film Festival is pleased to announce that our second round juries have concluded and nominees can now be announced in our remaining and craft categories.
“Jurying is a very long process, due to the rigorous process we have as a festival, and I want to thank our jury heads and jury members for putting in the time to adjudicate and select this year’s nominees,” said YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden. “With all of our nominees announced, we look forward to announcing this year’s Golden Sheaf Award winners in June.”
Second Round juries were convened to select nominees in our Digital Media (to be announced by May 01st, 2020) and Kathleen Shannon Award categories, as well as to select Craft Award (Director – Fiction, Director Non-Fiction, and Research) category nominees.
