The “Gold Movie awards®” is a monthly festival with yearly live screening in London that awards the best movies from every corner of the planet. You can send your movie using the online platform like FilmFreeway!! On 9th January 2019, we award the winners at the annual event in London.

Unlike some other festivals of this kind, we take the award giving very seriously and only do so after a very careful evaluation; also, we provide clear motivation for our choice.

We strongly believe that every movie is the result of hard work and, as such, they deserve our jury’s full attention during the evaluation and the best works deserve our acknowledgement and appreciation.

The selected movies, as well as the winners, will receive a golden laurel wreath, which can be used in advertising material.

As a part of this festival occurs every month, there are more chances to hang the golden laurel on your favourite movies!
At the end of the year, the winner's movies are inviting to our annual live screening event on 9th January 2019.
In the annual event, the director will be the protagonists!
We show their movies and we announce the winners of the annual contest.
Will be an amazing event and a good opportunity to take pictures and interviews with our trophy in your hands.
There will be a photographer to take pictures of the director and cast. each winner will be interviewed and the interview will be shared on our Youtube Channel and social.

Furthermore, every month we select the movies which can run for secondary awards: only one movie will be awarded as “best movie”, whereas the others will be able to win in subcategories – that is, if they deserve it.

At the end of the year, all the movies that had won a category can become finalist and take part in the annual event and could be crowned best movie of the year and win the prestigious trophy!

We prefer receiving also the movie trailer so that we can share it on our website together with the poster, but that is not a participation requirement.

How it works

1) Every month there is a selection of the movies that will take part in the annual event. Along with the main categories (such as feature film, short film, documentary…), there will be subcategories; it is required to be entered in one of the main categories to be able to win one of the subcategories.
2) At the end of the month, we will choose semi-finalist who will participate in the annual event.
3) Some days before the event, we will announce with a press conference (with international media) the finalist. The semi-finalist can participate at the even as well and they can win special mentions.

These rules can change during the year.
