The Genie Awards have been annually recognizing and celebrating excellence in our national cinema since 1980.

A brief history of 'The Genies':

1970's Canadian film industry experiences rapid growth: A small group of filmmakers aspire to build a unifying organization and mount a national, annual showcase of the industry's achievements
Canadian sculptor Sorel Etrog commissioned to design the "Etrog Award" statuette in 1968 for the Canadian Film Awards
June 20, 1979 Academy incorporation: A key part of the mandate is to promote higher filmmaking standards through the presentation of annual awards
Statuette and awards renamed the Genie Award for the first annual Genie Awards in 1980
First annual Genie Awards telecast live by CBC television at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto; subsequent awards held in locations across Canada
The awards, ceremony, and broadcast itself, continue to evolve with industry needs and technological developments; peer nomination process established
Today, Canadian stories and artists attract international collaboration and bring our culture to the public worldwide
