Since the inception of the Vancouver Women in Film Festival in 2006, LEGACY FILMWORKS has supported WIFTV and BC filmmakers through cash sponsorship of awards and artists fees. The VIWIFF Legacy Awards go to WIFTV members for their outstanding achievement in film and are presented annually to the top three BC filmmaking teams from the festival. Every year, Deboragh Gabler, President & CEO of LEGACY FILMWORKS, presents these three cash awards at the Opening Night screening and reception.

	1st place OMG | 10:00 mins 2012, Canada, directed by Siobhan Devine An inter-generational short film about 14-year-old emo-goth Kaylee who thinks she is the top of the food chain when it comes to being misunderstood. After a monster fight with her parents over her texting habit Kaylee runs away to her understanding grandma's house. All is going well until Kaylee's cell phone battery runs out.
	2nd place A RED GIRL'S REASONING | 10:06 mins 2012, Canada, directed by Elle-Maija Tailfeathers After the justice system fails the survivor of a brutal, racially-driven sexual assault, she becomes a motorcycle-riding, ass-kicking vigilante who takes on the attackers of other women who've suffered the same fate.
	3rd place BOL (SPEAK!) | 15:08 mins 2011, Canada & India, directed by Meghna Haldar A cyclist meets a stranger in the market. A boy waits for his mother to return home.
