Since 1998 the Swiss Film Prize has been awarded every year. The national prize honours film-makers for their achievements and promotes the Swiss film industry. Awards go to outstanding films from the following categories: "Best Fiction Film", "Best Documentary", "Best Short Film" and - every two years - "Best Animated Film". The three categories "Best Actress", "Best Actor" and "Best Emerging Actor or Actress" pay tribute to acting achievements. From 2009 on, there will also be a prize for the "Best Film Music". The jury that awards the film prizes also awards a Special Jury Prize for special technical or artistic achievements. From 1998 to 2008, the prize has been awarded every January at the Solothurn Film Festival. 2009 and 2010 the prize has been awarded in a special event in Lucerne in march. The films have be nominated by the Swiss Film Academy and the nominations were published in January at the Solothurn Film Festival. The Academy votes then for the winner.
