For the past three years films have been submitted and judged on-line by our distinguished judges. The results were announced on-line. This year, the BFF is producing its own "Academy Awards," simply called the Judges' Choice Awards. The top three films in each category (Narrative, Documentary, Public Service Announcement, and New Media) will be nominated for an award, and scenes from each will be screened at the event. Additionally, the coveted "Spirit of the Festival" award will go to the entry that best reflects the mission of the festival.
