To ensure that each film and screenplay is evaluated and graded on its own merits, we established a mechanism that ensures that entries are not judged against one another. They are, in essence, competing against themselves: we judge each item on its own merits and provide a score based on an innate value system. We want to make sure that when it's your moment to be judged, the judges' attention is focused on you and not on all of the other films in the queue; this ensures that they won't be thinking about comparisons when they should be thinking about YOU.

Becoming an "Official Selection" means your film passed through the first judging stage (DID NOT get rejected), now being able to go in front of the AWARD judges to decide the award (s) will receive, if any.

It does not mean your film will screen.

We will send the award notification the week of  August 13, 2022.

If your film receives a Best Of Festival award , it will be eligible for review by our long-standing and reputable distribution associates; PLUS, we will screen a few TOP Awards at the WRPN.tv sponsored Multi-Festival Event Rehoboth Beach, DE 2022 and Berkeley Springs, WV 2022 (At our discretion and by invitation, based on local demographics and COVID-19 situation)
