Latitude Film Awards is an independent film competition dedicated to recognising, showcasing, promoting and awarding filmmakers around the world.

Awards will be presented to independent filmmakers that produce unique and compelling films. Our aim is to honour, celebrate and award the best talent in the global filmmaking community.

Submissions do not compete against each other. Instead, all projects are judged against a high standard of merit of various departments, and are scored accordingly based on Originality/Creativity, Direction, Writing, Cinematography, Performances, Production Value, Pacing, Structure and Sound/Music.

The winners of the Platinum Award are guaranteed a spot in our screening.

Films entered in multiple categories may win multiple awards.

Platinum Award
Winners are guaranteed spot in our spring screening held in London, receive a digital certificate, laurels and our ‘Achievement’ statuette. All winners will be announced on our website and promoted via social media.

Gold Award / Silver Award / Bronze Award
Winners will receive a digital certificate and laurels to commemorate their achievement. All winners will be announced on our website and promoted via social media.

Latitude Film Awards accepts all forms and genres. All films must be in English or have English subtitles. Multiple entries are allowed for each filmmaker and each entry may be entered in multiple categories separately. Latitude Film Awards reserves the right, at any time, without notice and without limiting any and all other rights we may have under these Rules & Regulations, at law or in equity, to remove and delete your entry to the festival.

Submissions must be an original work of the applicant’s team and not based, in whole or part, on another author’s work (unless underlying material is in public domain). You agree that you will not submit any content that is libellous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, sexually, racially, culturally, or ethnically offensive, harassing, intimidating, threatening, hateful, discriminatory or abusive.

By submitting your film, you allow Latitude Film Awards to use parts of your film (including trailer/teaser/film poster/stills) for promotional purpose. A short synopsis and digital still photo is required for all scripts and all entries (except music videos) for the jury, and for our website announcements should you win.

Please select the right category while submitting to avoid disqualification.

    Outstanding festival with a passionate and dedicated team of professionals at the helm. It was an honor for me to have Dinner with Dante even considered for an award, let alone win one. Many thanks Latitude for believing in the story.

  • As a Producer, my experience with the Latitude film awards has been overwhelming. Their response was quick and information was laid out accurately. Having won a number of awards in the Festival has given us a positive mark in the Global Creative arena. We are honored to be part of this Festival. We are proud that our humble film from the Philippines has been recognized by such prestigious Festival.
