SUMMER 2016
TOP WINNERS
Welcome to the WRPN.TV Short, Tight and Loose global film festival
competition (WSTL), an online venue for shorts only (INCLUDING
WEBISODES/TV SERIES!), in association with DOFIFF.COM. During any given
year, 3 seasons of WSTL will run, ending in one “Best Of Show” winner
for each season in each of the Tight and Loose categories. They are
then categorized as a ‘semi-finalist’ for the cash prize. At year’s
end, we will then have 3 semi-finalists in each category. The Judges
Panel will then select one Finalist among those 3, to receive a $500
cash prize in each of the Tight and Loose categories.
WSTL, in conjunction with WRPN.TV Entertainment News, may also offer a
unique opportunity to 'expose your shorts' to a world-wide community of
video fans from dozens of countries that filmmakers would not normally
have access to, in the form of an optional PPV opportunity. The PPV
option is currently being developed, and we will keep all filmmakers
informed of the progress.
In order to insure that each film is studied and rated on an
individual basis, DOFIFF has instituted a system where entries do not
compete against each other, but instead are recognized for their own
individual merits.
For all intents and purposes,
they compete against themselves: each entry is judged on
individual merits and scored on an inherent value system.
The judges focus is on your film
when it is your turn to be evaluated, not on all the other films that
are in cue: this insures that they will not have comparisons going on
in their minds when they should be focusing entirely on YOU.
Judges score entries on a
performance scale and winning entries are recognized and awarded not
only for Best Of Show, but also for two Awards of Excellence levels,
two Awards of Merit levels, a Kudos Endeavor Award, or no award.
Best of Show honors are granted
to the top scoring entry/entries for each season; Awards of
Excellence are granted to entries with truly exceptional artistic and
technical achievements; and Notable achievements are recognized at the
Award of Merit and 'Kudos' award levels.
The number of awards granted at any given level will fluctuate
based on the total number of entries received for each competition
deadline.
