Judging of Submissions
Each submission will be judged according to the following two key criteria:
1. Content:
Strength of the ideas and concepts being expressed
in the film; and
2. Style:
Technical proficiency - how well the film is constructed.
Strength of ideas and concepts relates to how well the ideas are communicated
in the film as well as how it may stimulate thought after viewing.
Technical proficiency refers to the skills and expertise in the production
and post-production of the film. Basically this means how well you have
constructed your film from pre-production to post-production.
Each film needs to balance both considerations in terms of how well it
is produced and how well it communicates to a general audience.
