About

In 2019, the Library of Congress partnered with The Better Angels Society and the Crimson Lion/Lavine Family Foundation to establish an annual award recognizing excellence in American history documentary filmmaking in the model of Ken Burns — filmmaking that is painstakingly researched, rich in archival materials, ideologically balanced and focusing on inclusive American stories. The Library of Congress Lavine/Ken Burns Prize for Film is a $200,000 cash award presented annually to an independent filmmaker intended for post-production and finishing costs, including outreach and marketing, associated with an original, feature-length U.S. historical documentary in the tradition of Ken Burns. A $50,000 cash prize is awarded to the runner-up and $25,000 is awarded to three to four finalists. Films must reflect the highest standards of historical research, balance, accuracy and dramatic storytelling. Speakers at the 2024 award ceremony included Hakeem Jeffries, Jonathan Lavine, Mitt Romney, Katherine Malone France, Jeannie Lavine, Ken Burns and Asaf Galay.
