The Judges
by a panel of 17 industry-leading judges who know what great work looks—and feels—like.
Every submission will be scored across four areas:
- Song use: How does the music serve the story?
- Creativity: How unique are the concepts and ideas in your film?
- Craft: What level of production value do you reach?
- Storytelling: Is there a clear, compelling storyline?
