CICLOPE Festival has announced the Shortlist selected by the Jury across 37 distinct craft and creative categories. It is now available to view.
Winners will be decided by the Jury in the final stages of judging, live in Berlin, to set the global benchmark for the world’s best-crafted creative work of the year.
The Shortlist, of nearly 500 pieces of work, includes the highest ranked entries in each of the 37 categories, based on the scores given by the Festival’s Grand Jury and Executive Jury that comprise some of the industry’s best-known creatives and producers worldwide.
Shortlisted finalists will battle it out to win a trophy across Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. The juries also have the chance to award a Grand Prix within each of the seven Award sections presented to the most outstanding work of the competition in: Production, Post-Production, Animation, Sound & Music, Music Video, Special, and Ideas.
Winners will all be announced on Thursday, November 9th during the Festival’s live Awards Show at UDK’s Concert Hall, Berlin.
