Anyone who enters a RFVM competition.
If all entries are worthy of a nomination, they can all be nominated.
If No entries are worthy, no nominations will be made.
Who can nominate a member for the award?
- Any past or present
President/Chairman
- any club member (or
external invitee) who holds a film/video qualification of at least
Master Member, of the IAC or professional body such as the IOV.
2 judges are preferable,
but one is sufficient.
Who will decide who wins the annual award?
The committee will decide
from amongst those who have been nominated during the year. The number
of nominations for any member does not guarantee winning the award.
Summary:
- This award does not compete with or undermine the existing democratic
voting system. The audience should continue to decide the competition
results.
- The intention of the award is to encourage the development of
originality, creativity, innovation and technical excellence within
the club.
- To be nominated for this award should - just like Film Industry
Oscar nominations - be regarded as recognition of personal achievement.
- Recognising and supporting creativity and technical excellence
will help encourage the development of individual members, and the
success of RFVM as a whole.
