The Technical Excellence Award acknowledges the outstanding work of people in the Editorial Department such as Assistants, Post Supervisors, VFX editors, Online Editors and Colourists.

We want to see innovative workflows, techniques, and processes that showcase the best our industry has to offer. It could be a new way to simplify a time intensive task, or it could be a large and complex production with many moving parts.

The application centres around detailing a problem and the solution employed on a production. The judges will evaluate the entry on three categories: Innovation, Difficulty, and Efficiency. To help articulate your case there is room to submit additional materials. What these are is up to you; they could be a workflow diagram, screenshots, before and after images etc.

Entry Fee: $80
Entries Close: Sunday 10th August
