The National Film Awards UK are presented in an annual award show hosted by the National Film Academy (NFA).[1] As of 2015, it has taken place in Central London at the Porchester Hall. The most recent 9th National Film Awards UK was held on 4 July 2023.

History

The National Film Academy (NFA) was founded in 1999 and went on to launch the National Film Awards UK in 2015 as an annual awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of established and independent filmmakers, actors, actresses, casting directors, production companies, and crew who make up the motion picture industry. The National Film Awards is scheduled to produce four award ceremonies annually in the United Kingdom, United States, South America, Africa, and Australia. All nominations and voting for the NFA are submitted and voted for by movie fans, which is similar to the now-defunct award ceremony, the Daily Mail National Film Awards, that was held between 1946–1951. National Film Academy has as its core mission to support, develop, promote and celebrate the achievements of the motion picture industry worldwide. The Academy has over 275,000 members worldwide and runs a year-round programme of premieres, festivals, seminars, conferences, educational events including film screenings and tribute evenings.

Annual ceremony

The ceremony takes place annually in March.[2] The awards are mostly open to all nationalities but all nominees or films must be based in the country of origin except the Best Foreign Film category.

Sponsorship

In 2016, the mobile network O2 sponsored the awards.[3]
