The Austrian Film Award (German: Österreichischer Filmpreis), is the annual national film award of Austria, first given out in 2011. It is voted on by members of the Austrian Film Academy (German: Österreichische Filmakademie), which was founded in 2009 and consists of distinguished professionals from the Austrian film industry. The trophy was designed by media artist Valie Export.
