Event history


The British Columbia film and television industry provides more than 25,000 jobs and generates more than $2 billion (Canadian) in economic activity each year, making the industry an integral one to the economic and social vitality of British Columbia.[2] The Leos were established to provide support and recognition for the work of film and television producers, writers, directors, performers and others.[3]


In 2005, the Leo Awards Film Festival was added to the event as a means of showcasing the best in film and television production honored at the festival.[4] However, due to limited financial resources, the festival was cancelled in 2010.[5]



Award categories


Awards are given to films released in the prior calendar year.[6] The Leos also honor a group and/or an individual for outstanding achievement. In 2010, the awards were given in 75 categories, of which 62 were technical or craft awards.[7] In 2012, the organization created three new categories of award: best performance (voice) in an animation program or series; best casting in a feature length drama; and best casting in a dramatic series.[6] The award categories include:[8][9][10]
