Award Selection Criteria
In each category, the Best Award recognizes the project receiving the highest score from the jury, provided it satisfies the festival's quality requirements. Additional distinctions — Award of Distinction, Special Jury Award, and Honorable Mention, listed in descending order of prestige — are determined exclusively by the jury's scores, independently of the category in which a project was submitted. Multiple projects may receive recognition at the same level, but awards are never automatic and are reserved for works meeting the established quality standards.
