The Young Artist Awards also known as the 'Hollywood Young Artist Award' are presented yearly by the Young Artist Foundation. Started in 1980 by long-standing Hollywood Foreign Press (Golden Globes) member Maureen Dragone, they were envisioned specifically as awards to be presented to talented young people in television and movies who might otherwise be overshadowed by their older costars. The secondary purpose of the awards is to garner attention to the foundation's scholarship fund for physically or financially challenged aspiring young artists, to allow them to pursue their dreams.
For the first twenty years, they were called the Youth In Film Awards.
