The Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards (traditional Chinese: 臺北金馬影展; pinyin: Táiběi Jīnmǎ Yǐngzhǎn) is a film festival and awards ceremony held annually in Taiwan (governed by the Republic of China) since 1962. The awards ceremony is usually held in November/December in Taipei, though the venue has been shifted around the island in recent times.
The Golden Horse Film Awards (traditional Chinese: 金馬獎; pinyin: Jīnmǎ Jiǎng) are modeled after the Academy Awards and major film festivals worldwide. The awards, contested by submissions from Taiwan, Hong Kong, People's Republic of China (PRC) and elsewhere, are generally thought to be the most prestigious for Chinese-language films outside the PRC.
Winners are selected by a jury of judges in the week leading up to the ceremony. Winners are awarded with a Golden Horse statuette during a broadcast ceremony.
