Cinema WorldFest Awards is IMDb recognized and a global festival from the entertainment capital of the world, California. We're one of the few that do not charge extra fees for each subcategory. Your film is eligible for multiple awards and in all the categories… for one low fee.
*** We like to award the right people. Please help us by populating the credits with both cast and crew. ***
*** Be sure to include your social media contacts in your profile. We will contact you directly with your wins! ***
Tired of getting no awards because your great film was edged out by one with a humongous budget? Well, you’re in the right place.
Unlike other festivals, at Cinema WorldFest, entries do not battle against each other. Instead, films are individually judged based on a high standard of merit. Selected films will be recognized and awarded Best in Show, Award of Excellence, Award of Merit or Award of Recognition. We award not just the film itself but also all the actors and all the crew. The number of awards given is unlimited. Every submission that meets the judging standards will receive an award.
