Judging

Download 2013 Categories, Rules and Judging Criteria (pdf)

An independent group of judges offer their time and opinion. 

They seek to be inclusive and recognise creativity.  No film will be disadvantaged, but will be judged on its strengths and merits.
Their decisions will be based on:

• Originality of script.
• Use of a variety of camera angles.
• Quality of editing and continuity.
• Smoothness of animation.
• Appropriate use of music/soundtrack/sound effects.
• Quality of script.
• Quality of performances in live action films.
• Quality of costumes/props/models/artwork/sets.
• Appropriate use of special effects.
• Overall entertainment/interest of film.

If you have never had the nerve to enter a film before or never had a go at filmmaking then we hope this will give you the encouragement you need.

Dip your toes in the water and see what you can create!
