A hearty thank you and congratulations to all entrants! With more films submitted to the festival than any previous iteration in IDU history, as well as the most-ever foreign films submitted, your efforts have made the Eighth Annual IDU Film Festival the vibrant regional event it is. Despite the record-breaking number of entries in many categories, however, only one winner in each category can emerge victorious. Each player is asked to submit one ballot; voting is mandatory.* You may not vote for films which you submitted. Please read each entry carefully before making your selections. As in previous years, ranked-choice balloting will be used, with voters ranking their top five picks in each category.
This year, for the first time, players from outside the IDU who submitted Foreign Film entries are permitted to vote in the Best Foreign Film category only. Players from outside the IDU are welcome to fill out a ballot for the other categories as well, but these votes will not be processed.

*Voting is mandatory because, as players cannot vote for their own films, strategically not submitting a ballot to avoid providing your vote to a competitor could give you an unfair advantage in a close race.
