The Vietnam Cinema Association Awards, popularly known as the Kite Awards or Golden Kite Awards (Vietnamese: Giải thưởng Hội Điện ảnh Việt Nam, Giải Cánh diều or Cánh diều vàng) since 2003, is an annual awards ceremony, recognizing the excellence of Vietnamese films, television series and videos produced during a year in Vietnam.
In spite of receiving a lot of criticism, this is still the most popular film and television awards in Vietnam.
In order to encourage the artists' works, every year, the government provides the funds to the associations to award them.
Since 1993, VCA officially separated from the Film Festival and organizes its own awards annually.
In March 2003 on the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam Revolutionary Cinema (1953), VCA initiated the Golden Kite Prize, and combined with Vietnam Television station, broadcast the ceremony live with the support of the business through advertising.
