DWBIFF
has instituted a system to ensure entries do not compete against each
other, but get recognized for their merits. Becoming an "Official Selection" means your film passed through the first judging stage (DID NOT get rejected), now being able to go in front of the AWARD judges to decide the award (s) will receive, if any. It does not mean your film will screen. We will send the award notification the week of June 27, 2021. If your film receives the Best Of Festival or Best Of Show award, it will be eligible for review by our long-standing and reputable distribution associates; PLUS, we will screen a few TOP Awards at the WRPN.tv sponsored Multi-Festival Event Rehoboth Beach, DE 2021 and Berkeley Springs, WV 2021 (At our discretion and by invitation, based on local demographics and COVID-19 situation)
