IMDb Listing: As part of our IMDb-qualifying festival, you must list your award. IMDb built our awards page for winners to submit; we cannot do this for you, as per IMDb guidelines. You have all the information required. Please ensure you have an IMDb personal or project account, as this will be necessary for the submission. If you have issues, please reach out to IMDb for assistance.

Our Judging System

To ensure that each film and screenplay is evaluated and graded on its own merits, we established a mechanism that ensures that entries are not judged against one another.

They are, in essence, competing against themselves: we judge each item on its own merits and provide a score based on an innate value system.

We want to make sure that when it's your moment to be judged, the judges' attention is focused on you and not on all of the other films in the queue; this ensures that they won't be thinking about comparisons when they should be thinking about YOU.
