A More Selective Award Structure:
To further enhance the prestige of our festival and the value of its awards, we have introduced a new, more selective award structure. Under this new system, awards are no longer assigned based on a predetermined number of winners per category, with the exception of the Best Award, which remains reserved for the highest-rated project in each category. All other recognitions are granted solely based on the artistic quality of each project and the scores awarded by our jury, regardless of category.
This ensures that deserving projects have the opportunity to receive recognition based on their own merits, without being limited by competition within their category. At the same time, every award must be earned by meeting the festival's quality standards, rather than simply achieving a particular ranking within a category.
As a result, fewer projects may receive awards, making each recognition more exclusive, meaningful, and prestigious.
Award Selection Criteria:
The Best Award is presented to the highest-rated project in each category, provided it meets the jury's quality standards.All other awards — Award of Excellence, Special Jury Prize, and Honorable Mention, ranked from highest to lowest — are granted solely based on the jury's evaluation scores, regardless of category, with multiple recipients possible at each level. No award is guaranteed, and every recipient must meet the required quality standards.
