Jury philosophy
ON3FILMS is not judging which creator used the most tools or produced the loudest frame. The jury looks for a film with something to communicate and the direction, edit, sound, craft, and transparent process needed to communicate it.
Additional jurors will appear only after confirmation and approval of their biography and image.
The 100-point rubric
Story & emotional impact
Clarity, meaning, structure, and what stays with the audience.
Originality & voice
A distinctive point of view rather than a familiar visual exercise.
Execution & craft
Direction, edit, image, sound, performance, and overall finish.
AI integration & transparency
Meaningful use of generative tools with an honest workflow disclosure.
Rights & technical
Eligibility, permissions, delivery requirements, and responsible production.
Independence and conflicts
Judges disclose material conflicts involving entrants or submitted films and may be recused where appropriate. Sponsors and ecosystem partners do not control eligibility decisions, core jury scoring, the Grand Prize, or any other core jury award. Audience Choice is evaluated separately through public participation.
