The partnership kicks off this year at the November festival, with the new awards to be presented on Nov 10.
Heather Croall, festival director, said: 'Sheffield Doc/Fest has been looking for some time to introduce awards in the festival, and we are thrilled to partner with The Grierson Trust to give filmmakers a chance to win a Grierson: Sheffield. For films that make a difference, embrace innovative methods of production and storytelling or capture the imagination of a youth audience.'
