Resilience Awards
Multiple red flags detected - exercise caution
The Shine Global Resilience Awards recognize and celebrate films and filmmakers that highlight the resilience and strength of children facing adversity. Established by the non-profit Shine Global, the awards aim to shed light on uplifting stories of children and the talented filmmakers who tell them, providing significant cash support and in-kind services to over 41 films and 7 film festivals and organizations since its inception. The awards culminate in a grand prize announcement, often at an annual gala in New York City, and also partners with other festivals to present various categories and prizes throughout the year.
