JUDGING CRITERIA 

​

Films will be judged by the content of the film, its ability to educate, inspire, and raise awareness of the film’s chosen topic.

Films will be judged on three main areas: content, creativity and audience interaction.

​

A film that truly discusses solutions to environmental problems will rank higher than a film that only loosely discusses solutions.

​

A documentary with a clear message is preferred over abstract pieces.

​

Films — both fictional narratives and documentaries — are encouraged to include scientific facts about the environment and/or sustainability.

​

Gear doesn’t matter! Fancy equipment, b-roll, and camera moves will not necessarily score you more points. What’s most important is your film’s overall message.
