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.

Judges Special Mention
Every year at ShAFF the judges meet to decide on the top three films in each of our prize categories, but invariably there are a handful of films that come up time and time again in discussion, but don't make it onto the podium. These are those films.
