People’s Choice Awards
People’s Choice is a new award category this year and will include flicks chosen by the public. The three People’s Choice winners will receive a limited edition Flicks 2013 prize package and have their videos promoted on our channels. They’ll also be featured in the Flicks gallery on Givit and on MovingArt channels.
Early Entry Awards
This year, we’re choosing three Early Entry Award winners. Each winning team will receive $1000 USD and have their flick promoted on our channels. They’ll also get a special edition 2013 prize pack and will automatically qualify for one of the 40 finalist spots.
The 40 Firefox Flicks finalists will have their films evaluated by our panel of judges and all finalists will receive SnagIt and Camtasia software licences from TechSmith (one per person).
Finalists
From the 40 finalists, the judges will choose four regional runners-up, four regional winners and a Grand Prize winner.
