Awards
We work incredibly hard at ShAFF to make sure that we have the best selection of adventure films we possibly can.
We announce the winners ahead of the festival to allow the audience to make sure they see the best films of the year and decide whether they agree with our judges.
You can see which films won awards in previous years in our archive.

Judges Special Mention
