**FEBRUARY 2017 LIMELIGHT UPDATE!**
Dear Filmmakers!
Congratulations to all of you who have been nominated for the 9th Limelight Film Awards! The ceremony will take place in London this summer! More news to follow soon!
To all the many many filmmakers who were not nominated on this occasion, we would like to thank you all for sharing your hard work. We know how much effort goes into making a film. Unfortunately only a set amount of films can be nominated, as we mentioned before, this year has been incredibly difficult with over a thousand short films to choose from! So please do not be disheartened, keep making films and keep entering them into competitions!
More news about the 9th Limelight Film Awards ceremony will follow soon! Stay tuned!
Best wishes,
The Limelight Film Awards Team
