The Bayelsa Filmmakers Award, a proud initiative of the Bayelsa International Film Festival (BIFF), is dedicated to celebrating and honoring Bayelsa-based filmmakers and creative artists who are making remarkable contributions to the growth of the film industry while uplifting the cultural identity and image of Bayelsa State.

This award serves as a platform to spotlight excellence, inspire creativity, and encourage innovation among homegrown talents whose works continue to break boundaries and place Bayelsa on the global creative map.

We welcome nominations of outstanding filmmakers and artists who deserve recognition for their creativity, impact, and unwavering commitment to the art of storytelling and filmmaking.

The Bayelsa Filmmakers Award is more than recognition — it is a celebration of Bayelsa’s creative spirit and a call to inspire the next generation of storytellers.
