***PLEASE READ THE TERMS CAREFULLY***
***DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS WE ARE MOVING THE SPRING 2020 VERSION TO AN ONLINE AWARDS EVENT ONLY***
The Continental Film Festival is a bi-annual event that opens doors for filmmakers in all continents to have a fair chance at receiving awards. We hold a live screening each Spring and Fall, giving you an opportunity to enter your film when you are absolutely ready.
Our judges composed of industry professionals as well as a jury made up of a non-industry audience will privately screen the films and rank them in several criteria including writing, cinematography, sound design, editing, acting and directing. Many will be chosen as Semi-Finalists, also known as Nominees, and these will be eligible to win category-specific awards.
A few will be chosen Finalists and these will be screened at our live event held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, one of the most multicultural cities on the face of the Earth.
One of them will win the Best Film of the Festival award along with a First Runner-Up as well as a Second Runner-Up.
