Judges are invited to watch a particular festival category, sometimes a few categories, focusing on the narrative structure, cinematography, production design, originality, creative intent and entertainment value.

Each category will be viewed by judges from a range of disciplines, each judge bringing their own experience to the table.

Once the judge has viewed all films in their category or categories, the results are then compiled by the festival office. From each category three finalists are chosen, one of which is deemed the winner.

We greatly appreciate the time and effort our judges give to viewing the films and their offering of advice and guidance.
