Solved

Festivals/Awards not processed

This page https://contribute.imdb.com/times shows that almost all handed in contributions for Festivals Nominations and Awards were processed. However, easier this year I have contributed 6 Award winners which have not been processed. What can I do?

Hello rst

I have checked the contributions:

250104-155954-784000 I can confirm that it was added: https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000949/2023/1/?ref_=ev_tl_yr_3#best_swiss

251109-115306-924000 The submission was rejected since no evidence was added to verify.

251118-002915-822000 Same as above, the submission was rejected since no evidence was added to verify.

251118-004341-173000 Also the same reason.

251205-095349-589000 This is for the same reason too.

As mentioned in our Awards guidelines: make sure to include as much evidence as possible to help our editors verify the listing. A direct URL to the awarding body's official listing is best. You can re submit the contributions and double check that you added evidence.

Hi Fran,

thank you, I overlooked this. I re-submitted them with a link in the comments. 

However, how can I see that these were rejected or accepted?

Hello Fran,

thank you. This is of course where I'm looking. But where exactly is ths status displayed there? In the list, I only see Reference, Date/Time and Summary. On the individual entries, I see a green check-box, saying that I sucessfully submitted the conribution. How can I determine the status?

There is no status tracking for award contributions. You can check the pages and ask about them here if needed.

@rst- Thank you for posting the references! Furthe reviewing, for the first one, we don't accept Official Selections as an award nomination. 

You can review our Award guidelines for further information regarding this.

As per the second one, you will need to provide further verifiable evidence and you are welcome to re-submit so that our editors can take another look.

Thank you, @Maya​, concerning the Official Selection, other films on this list are named as nominees of the Holly Shorts Festival 2025. The festival has no further selection, every film listed here is running in competition. I'd kindly ask you to grant me the same rights as the other films listed on IMDB for running in copetition in this festival.

I resubmitted the entry for the African Movie Academy Awards with other links, their website has not been updated.

Could you please change the 2nd Prize at Interfilm Berlin into a win? 

Thank you!

@rst- You can resubmit the first one with further evidence and our editors will take a look.'

As per the the African Movie Academy Awards, ig you have re-submitted this will be reviewed by our editors accordingly. 

Fo the Interfilm Berlin, you can correct this by submitting the fix through the contribution form.

@rst- You're welcome!

You can change the Rank to 'Win' by selecting 'Correct/delete' on the dropdown menu and following the warnings on the contribution. 

I will suggest also to remove the '2nd place' text on the Supplementary information box as well.
