The Silver Screen Awards Competition was introduced in 1991 to encourage advances in Asian film-making standards.[37] Every year, a selection of Asian feature and short films take part in the competition. In 2014, the Southeast Asian Short Film category was introduced, replacing the Singapore Short Film category. The first Southeast Asian Film Lab was introduced in 2015.[38]
