CATEGORIES FOR VARIED AUDIENCES AND PURPOSES

All motion media is not created equally. And it should not be reviewed by just any judge. The Aurora Awards seeks to match each entry to a judge with that talent and experience.

CATEGORIES INDICATE YOUR CREATIONS -- We use categories to let the world know what kind of entry you have created. The designation will show up in our WINNERS section for those selected.

No designation is labeled as 'digital', 'online' or 'new media'. We judge all applications of film, video and media for film or video.

 

 

MANY CATEGORIES TO CHOOSE FROM -- With over 200 categories to choose from, you will find a category which best describes your work's intent. We also have categories to tune-in on specific areas of the work for more detailed analysis of a specific aspect (See Individual / Creative Achievement Categories).

The Aurora Awards is the only film industry awards company that works for a quality assessment for you.
