China Huabiao Film Awards (; also simply known as Huabiao Awards) is the highest honor bestowed by the Chinese government for artistic and technical merit in film. It is held once every two years in Beijing.
Named after the decorative Chinese winged columns (huabiaos), The Huabiao Awards were first instituted in 1957 as the Ministry of Culture Excellence Film awards. Between 1958 and 1979, no awards were given. In 1994, the awards were renamed "Huabiao." Along with the Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards, these are known as China's three main film awards.
Unlike other award ceremonies, Huabiao Awards for individual categories are often given to multiple nominees.
