Every year the London Greek Film Festival presents the Odysseus Awards in each of the competition categories. The prize’s name is a tribute to the Odyssey of the creators, film directors and screenwriters, their journey to the completion of their vision. The Odysseus Awards offered during the year to poets and other authors and artists, as well. Starting form this year, an international section of the LGFF, the Cosmocinema Festival, offers the international Cosmocinema Awards, as well. Following the London festival, the Awards presented not only in London, but are also presented often to the winners at a special event in Athens.

Odysseus Awards, Cosmocinema Awards & Acting Code Awards are not accompanied by cash prize or funding.
