The UNICEF Nepal Award at the Film South Asia 2015 went to "Drawing the Tiger" a documentary directed by by Amy Benson, Scott Squire and Ramyata Limbu. The UNICEF Nepal Award was instituted in 2013 and is awarded to the film that best portrays sensitivity towards and issues related to children. It carries a cash prize of USD 1000 and a trophy.

"Drawing a Tiger" follows members of one family from a village in Ramechhap whose daughter gets a charity scholarship to go to school in Kathmandu. She promises to return, to free her family from poverty. But she does not return. The film portrays the price one family pays for their golden opportunity.

The citation by the Jury read : "The film captures the lacunae in our system to provide quality education to rural and marginalized sections in a layered manner. It also brings out the limitations of philanthropy when the larger socio economic model is not geared to provide the emotional space for aspiring children."
