Awards
Each month, our jury will award the best films through private screenings. Every year, the jury will then select from the monthly winners and nominate films to go on and compete for our annual awards "Best of Fest". Those nominated to compete for the annual awards will be notified in January and will be virtually screened on Entertainment Oxygen. The winners will be announced live at our awards ceremony held in the Spring at The Logan Theatre in Chicago, IL.
