Each year, The Grierson Trust recognises the best documentary filmmaking from Britain and abroad through the British Documentary Awards.

Established in 1972, the Grierson Awards are given to documentaries that have made a significant contribution to the genre and that demonstrate quality, integrity, creativity, originality and overall excellence.

Awards are given in a number of categories, including Arts, History, Science and Contemporary Theme, as well as to first time and student filmmakers.
