Each year, the members of the Union give their awards for cinema, television, DVD/Blu-ray releases, literary works, platforms and Jeune critique. They also constitute critics' juries in many festival and deliberate in public, such as Arras, Biarritz, Brive, Cannes, Carcassonne, Créteil, Grenoble, Poitiers, Saint Jean de Luz, Toulouse, Trouville and Paris.
