Selection:

The board of directors of the festival will inform the directors of the selected films both in written notice and through email.

As soon as receiving the notification of selection, the directors must send a photo of the film for the catalogue and the dialogue text of the film for the subtitling to the festival committee.

The absence of written notification would indicate film has not been selected for the Award. Nevertheless, efforts will be made to inform all candidates on the status of their entry.
