Canada International Children's Film Awards

The Canada International Children’s Film Awards (CICFA) is an international juried awards competition dedicated to recognizing excellence in children’s and family filmmaking.

Originally launched as a live festival, CICFA has evolved into a curated online awards showcase — allowing us to celebrate outstanding storytelling from around the world without geographic limitations.

Our mission remains the same:

To honor powerful, imaginative, and meaningful films created for young audiences and families.

We recognize filmmakers who understand that children’s cinema is not secondary storytelling — it is foundational storytelling.
