Template FAQs

Common questions about the Festival Awards Nomination Submission Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a festival awards nomination form?

A festival awards nomination submission form collects films and talent put forward for your award categories, capturing the title, category, key talent and a screener link. It gives your jury one consistent list to shortlist from, so judging stays fair, organized and easy to manage.

What should an awards nomination form include?

This form captures the film title, chosen award category, director or key talent, runtime and country of production, the reasons it deserves consideration, and a screener link with any password. It also records who submitted it, their email, and an eligibility declaration.

When should filmmakers submit award nominations?

Before your published nomination deadline, once the film is finished and eligible. Submitting early with a working screener link and the right category gives your jury more time to watch, compare entries properly and build a shortlist without a last-minute rush.

Who fills out a festival awards nomination form?

Filmmakers, distributors, sponsors or festival programmers putting a film or performance forward for an award. The form captures the category and a screener link, so the jury can watch each entry and judge it against the others on equal terms.

Why ask for a screener link and password?

Because judges need to actually watch each nominated film to score it fairly. A private screener link with an optional password lets them view entries securely, at their own pace, without you posting large files around or risking the film leaking before its release.

Is this awards nomination template free to use?

Yes, completely free. Add or remove fields, adjust the award categories to match your festival, and restyle it to your brand, then embed it on your site or share a link — no coding needed. A free Fun Forms account lets you collect nominations.
