Academy Juvenile Award / Juvenile Oscar - The Discontinued Category

The Academy Juvenile Award, also known as the Juvenile Oscar, was a Special Honorary Academy Award bestowed at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to specifically recognize juvenile performers under the age of eighteen for their "outstanding contributions to screen entertainment".

The trophy itself was a miniature Oscar statuette which stood approximately 7 inches tall.The honor was first awarded by the Academy in 1935 to 6-year-old Shirley Temple for her work in 1934. The Award continued to be presented intermittently over the next 25 years until 1961, when 12-year-old Hayley Mills became the last recipient to be awarded the child-size statuette for her role in Pollyanna.
