The Ensor Award (for the first two years Vlaamse Filmprijzen) is an accolade presented by the Ensor Academy of Belgium to recognize cinematic achievement in the film industry and is the highest film honour in the Flemish speaking part of the country. The awards are given out annually at the Ostend Film Festival.

The trophy was created by Ostend artist Yves Velter from Ostend and named after James Ensor, it is the successor of the Joseph Plateau Award that honored films from the entire country. Since its discontinuation, the Magritte Awards are given to French speaking movies, while the Ensors honor Flemish dialects productions.

The nominees are decided by a jury panel. While the winners are voted by the entire board of Ensor Academy, which consists of members from the film industry. In 2018 categories for achievement in television were introduced.

Since 2022, the Ensors, have been gender neutral, meaning the awards do not separate male and female performances in acting categories. This has led to some years where men are the only winners in acting categories.

Noteworthy Winners

At the ninth edition, two films tied for the top prize as best film. The tenth Ensor Awards ceremony was held on September 14, 2019 and saw the film Girl dominating by winning eight trophies including best film.
