12th Youth in Film Awards
The 12th Annual Youth In Film Awards ceremony (now known as the Young Artist Awards), presented by the Youth In Film Association, honored outstanding youth performers under the age of 18 in the fields of film, television and music for the 1989-1990 season.[1][2][3] The exact date of the 12th annual ceremony is unknown, however, using the dates of the 11th and 13th annual awards, the 12th annual ceremony is believed to have taken place in late 1990 or early 1991 in Hollywood, California.
Established in 1978, the Youth In Film Association was the first organization to establish an awards ceremony specifically set to recognize and award the contributions of performers under the age of 18 in the fields of film, television, theater and music.[1][4][5]
