1st place films in all five categories will be shown at the film festival. Winners in each category will receive a cash prize! If we don’t have a film in each category, film categories will be combined or eliminated. Films can win more than one category.
Although festival-related filming will most likely be considered non-commercial, it is recommended that participants be required to obtain permitting and follow all local guidelines of locations they are filming. A permit provides each crew with clear filming guidelines at the beginning of their project which will benefit the film crew as well as Lisle residents and businesses. It is the film makers responsibility to check with the location they are filming at. All film crews should secure a certificate of liability insurance when applicable.
Entrants must adhere to the guidelines or their film will be pulled from the contest.
Films will be judged on the following criteria:
