There will be seven awards given out based on categories, which include Best Comedy, Best Drama, Best Experimental, Documentary or Animation, Best Technical Achievement, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director. The participants are all vying for the top prize and the winners will receive The Sarah Fuller scholarship, $500 from Film Florida, an artisan award from local artist Robert McKnight, a custom 1-year download membership to VideoBlocks, a full set (57 videos) of footage video courtesy of Footage Firm and an all-access pass to the MIFF.
