Judging Process

Judging will occur within days of the final deadline for entries. Entries will be assessed for adherence to the established theme, writing, editing, and general creativity.

At most, three awards – First Place, Second Place, and Third Place – will be granted during each Shorts Contest. However, our judges reserve the right to grant fewer than three prizes for any given contest.

Filmmaking is an artistic endeavor, and judging films is a subjective process. Our esteemed panel of judges appreciates the task before them.
