Festival awards order
Dear IMDb Customer Support,
My name is Philip Velikov, Festival Coordinator of IN THE PALACE International Short Film Festival. I am writing to inquire about modifying the arrangement of awards on our event page (https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0004283/2024/1/).
As an Oscar-qualifying festival, we are required to adhere to the Academy’s guidelines, ensuring that our Oscar-qualifying categories are prominently featured and not obscured by less critical awards. Currently, the ordering of awards and categories varies from year to year. For example, in 2024 the sequence begins with the Jury Prize Award, followed by the categories: Best Bulgarian Fiction Film, Best Feature, Best International Short, etc., while in 2023 the Jury Prize starts with Best Feature, Best Animation, and so on.
We seek to establish a uniform order for awards and ensure that the correct award titles are consistently applied across all editions. Could you please assist us in updating the arrangement so that every year and edition follows the configuration outlined below?
Jury Prize
Best Fiction Film (currently listed as Best International Short Film).
Best Animation Film (currently listed as Best Animation)
Best Documentary Film (currently listed as Best International Short Documentary)
Best National Film (currently listed as Best Bulgarian Fiction Film, which is incorrect, as it includes all types of cinema from bulgarian creators)
Best Experimental Film
Best Mid-Length Film
Best Full-Length Film (currently listed as Best Feature Film)
Best TV Series
Best Music Video
Silver Princess (where applicable; please note that this award has now been incorporated into the Jury Prize, although it should still appear in previous editions).
Best Fiction Film
Best Animation Film
Best Documentary Film
Best National Film
Best Experimental Film
Best Mid-Length Film
Best Full-Length Film
Best TV Series
Best Music Video
Student Competition Award
Best Student Fiction Film
Best Student Animation Film
Best Student Documentary FIlm
Best Student Experimental Film
Jury Special Mention (Identical with the award "Special Mention" should replace it wherever applicable).
Best Fiction Film
Best Animation Film
Best Documentary Film
Best National Film
Best Experimental Film
Best Mid-Length Film
Best Full-Length Film
Best TV Series
Best Music Video
If possible, we kindly request that the standardized order of awards and categories, along with the correct category titles as specified in this email, be applied uniformly across all editions and submissions.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Philip Velikov
