Summer 2020 WINNERS
In order to insure that each film is
studied and rated on an individual basis, DOFIFF has instituted a
system where entries do not compete against each other, but instead are
recognized for their own individual merits.
The
number of awards granted at any given level will fluctuate based on the
total number of entries received for each competition deadline. For all intents and purposes, they compete against themselves: each entry is judged on individual merits and scored on an inherent value system. The judges focus is on your film when it is your turn to be evaluated, not on all the other films that are in cue: this insures that they will not have comparisons going on in their minds when they should be focusing entirely on YOU. Judges score entries on a performance scale and winning entries are recognized and awarded not only for Best Of Festival and Best of Show, but also for two Awards of Excellence levels, two Awards of Merit levels, a Kudos Endeavor Award, or no award. Best of Festival and Best of Show honors are granted to the top scoring entry/entries for each season; Awards of Excellence are granted to entries with truly exceptional artistic and technical achievements; and Notable achievements are recognized at the Award of Merit and 'Kudos' award levels. To download your award seals/laurels, just right click on the corresponding laurel, select "Save image as" and save to your computer. Seals are Png format. |
