We are non-elitist and non-political, and welcome entries from all filmmakers around the globe irrespective of age or experience.

ABOUT US

It is a multi-level award competition with opportunities to receive award laurels and trophies for OFFICIAL SELECTION, SCREENING SELECTION, HONORABLE MENTION, BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, and PLATINUM awards in each category. This means that multiple awards can be issued at any given level in any given category, and therefore, filmmakers are not competing over one single award.

The trophy for the 'Judge's Award for Best of Show' will be presented to the submission which our jury deem to be the overall best entrant in the festival.

There will also be an 'Audience Choice Award' which attendees of the live event will be able to vote for in-person.
