This year the Bridge Film Festival received 27 entries including six documentaries, 10 narratives, five new-media, five public service announcements and one (non-competitive) show-case video.  The judges have completed the first round of evaluations and have nominated the top three entries in each category.  They will review each nominee and vote for the winner of the Judges' Choice Award in each category.

From all of the entries submitted, the judges will choose candidates for the coveted Spirit of the Festival Award.  The Bridge Film Festival Executive committee will then meet to decide the winner.
