AWARDS & PRIZES
All our Official Selection films will receive the Official Laurel and will be screened at our 7-Day Annual Live Event. Winners will be announced at the end of the event as well as the Audience Award (Cash Prize). Winning films will receive their Certificate of Achievement.
In addition, we will choose a quarterly selection of outstanding projects as semi-finalists who will be invited to participate in our Virtual Event and compete for cash prizes and special invitations to participate at our live event. All semifinalist films will receive their corresponding Laurel.
