The Audience Awards: You are the Judge!

Whatever the critics and filmmakers may think, one true test of a film’s value is the reaction of the
audience. The Woods Hole Film Festival audience awards are a tradition that has created a strong
bond between filmmakers and audiences for more than a decade. The awards are often a launching
pad for a film that starts its journey at the Festival. Filmmakers from around the world submit their
films here in part because the know that the Woods Hole audiences are some of the most perceptive
and open-minded they have encountered and that their film will be evaluated with intelligence and
curiosity.

Categories include:
• Best of the Fest • Feature Documentary
• Feature Narrative • Feature Comedy
• Short Drama • Short Documentary
• Best Comedy • Short Animation

Voting for an audience award is easy. If you see a film in person, simply
tear the ballot through the number you wish to give the film and return
the ballot to the venue staff. The scale is 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). The
votes will be tallied and the winners will be announced at the awards
ceremony on Saturday, August 2nd at 10pm at the Captain Kidd
Restaurant and Bar in Woods Hole.
Every vote counts, so please vote. The filmmakers are
counting on you!
