Event details: Accolade
Description
Recently named among the top 25 festivals worth the entry fee by MovieMaker Magazine; the Accolade Competition seeks entries from talented filmmakers, television producers and videographers. It is a non-traditional, virtual showcase for cinematic gems and unique voices.
Most importantly, The Accolade team works passionately to help worthy productions gain the publicity and distribution they deserve. That is what The Accolade is all about: helping winners of this coveted award achieve recognition and distribution opportunities. Undiscovered and first-time filmmakers are often recognized.
The Accolade is an award recognized for its rigorous evaluation process by buyers and distributors with outstanding industry organizations like the American Film Market (AFM) and the National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE). Winning an Accolade gives buyers and distributors confidence that your production is of high quality. The Accolade has working relationships with scores of distributors.
Traditional festivals offer little help after the festival ends, at the Accolade the most important services to filmmakers are provided after the awards are announced. Every filmmaker wants credibility associated with their work and buzz about their productions. In addition to targeted press releases to media outlets, the Accolade announces the winners to the over 27,000 industry professionals in its email database. All winners are listed on The Accolade website and clips of the Best of Show productions are streamed.
Quality and creativity are celebrated in three levels of awards: Best of Show, Award of Excellence and Honorable Mention. Best of Show honors are granted only if worthy productions are discovered. Likewise, no more than 15 of entries are granted Awards of Excellence. Notable artistic and technical productions are recognized at the Honorable Mention award level.
Awards go to those filmmakers, television producers and videographers who produce fresh, standout entertainment, animation and compelling documentaries. The Accolade receives entries from all over the world: Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States. Subtitled, foreign-language films are welcome.
Annually, a special award is given to a filmmaker, television producer or videographer who makes a significant contribution to social change or a humanitarian effort.
