Chicago Indie Film Awards celebrates Independent U.S. and international films of all genres.
The festival is an IMDb qualifying monthly and annual festival. The international platform is dedicated to supporting, promoting and recognizing indie film projects and scripts from all over the world. U.S. and international projects compete together in various sections of the festival.
The official selections of the monthly editions are screened privately to jury members of each edition in various categories. All the award winners are then nominated for the annual festival with screening, cash prizes and bonuses in the competition.
The festival is also a partner of Chicago Movie Magazine which features our official selections and the award winners every month.
