2009 Awards Announced


The 2009 SikhNet Online Youth Film Festival inspired submissions of over 40 films from young filmmakers around the world. The judging process was especially difficult this year because of the quality of the films which, in the opinion of the judging panel, is improving every year.The panel of judges watched every film, most more than once, and marked them all on Creativity (originality,) Message (Was the film inspiring and/or uplifting? Did it communicate the filmmaker's message clearly?) and Technical Execution (videography, editing, post production, etc.) Although there was often a clear first place winner in a category, the race between the second and third place films was often a very close one and the judges enthusiastically debated the merits of the films in contention for those awards. Finally the judges have made their decisions!
