Draft:MPA Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Motion Picture Association (MPA) presents the annual MPA Awards

The annual MPA Awards are presented to leaders across creative, policy, and content protection communities who play a vital role in strengthening and safeguarding the film, television, and streaming industry. The awards were created in 2022[1] by the Motion Picture Association to celebrate the the association's 100th anniversary.

The MPA presents different categories of awards each year:

  • The MPA Creator Award is presented annually to an individual whose expert display of their craft behind the camera has moved and shaped culture and helped audiences see the world in new and different ways.
  • The MPA Industry Champion Award is given to individuals who have promoted the growth of the creative economy by advancing dynamic policies that generate new opportunities for all creators.
  • New in 2024, the MPA Creative Protector Award honors an institution or individual that has demonstrated a commitment to safeguarding creativity through effective anti-piracy and other enforcement actions.
  • The MPA Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes those with unwavering commitment to the industry throughout their career.
