Each year the Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival holds juried competitions for documentary and narrative features in conjunction with the St. Louis Film Critics Association. The awards are named in honor of the late St. Louis Post-Dispatch critics Joe Williams (Documentary Feature) and Joe Pollack (Narrative Feature). The Festival chooses eight films to compete in each category. The award winners are selected by two separate juries, each composed of StLFCA members.
