The Official Selections are reviewed by the Judging Panel and receive scores from the attending audience throughout the festival. After the festival closes, the weighted scores are combined, and the top-scoring films are promoted into the internal 'Network Round'.
The Network Round is hosted on the Lift-Off Network Hub, where the Lift-Off Jury and Network Hub Members score the films and vote for the winners.
After the festival closes, prizes are awarded, and winning projects are placed on the Season Award Nominations Shortlist. Lift-Off Season Award Nominations are allocated by the Jury based on merit within each category.
๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The Lift-Off Season Awards honour the very best projects from across the entire Lift-Off Season.
At the end of the season, all long-listed films are reviewed by our Season Awards Jury, who select the final nominations. These films are then screened at our headquarters, the prestigious John Barry Theatre at Pinewood Studios.
This exclusive event is attended by Lift-Off filmmakers, judges, jury members, Pinewood industry professionals, and invited reviewers, who cast their final scores live during the screenings.

The season concludes in February with our Season Awards Night, where the winners from these screenings are honoured with our iconic Lift-Off trophies.
