TIFF lacks a jury and is non-competitive; regular awards handed out at other festivals for categories such as "Best Film" or "Best Actress" do not exist at the Toronto International Film Festival. The major prize, the People's Choice Award, is given to a feature-length film with the highest ratings as voted by the TIFF-going populace.

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is the leading public film festival in the world, bringing the power of film to life each September.

Starting out in 1976 as a collection of films from other festivals - a "festival of festivals" - the Toronto International Film Festival has become one of the most beloved cinematic events in the world, universally regarded as an ideal platform for filmmakers to launch their careers and to premiere their new work. It has been described as "the most important film festival in the world - the largest, the most influential, the most inclusive." *

The major prize, the People's Choice Award, is given to a feature-length film with the highest ratings as voted by the TIFF-going populace.
