Fall 2021 WINNERS

In order to insure that each film is studied and rated on an individual basis, WWIFF 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 Festival&  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 Festival & 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  Merit and 'Kudos' award levels.

Best of Festival and Best of Show films are selected
by category and region.
Not all categories had a Best of Festival or Best of Show winner





We select  two Best Of Festival Award Winners for
Domestic and Foreign in various categories, if available.
