Following the conclusion of the 2nd Mountain & Adventure Film Festival, Film Festival Flix is pleased to announce the 2016 award-winning films. This past February, 70 finalists competed in 11 categories over 29 days. Viewers were able to watch and vote for their favorite films through their computer, tablet, smart phone, or Internet connected TV. "We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of this year's films, our audience's reaction, and the exponential growth we saw over the 2015 festival" said Film Festival Flix CEO, Benjamin Oberman.

The 11 category winners were determined solely by audience vote. The top 3 audience voted films were submitted to the Festival's Athlete Ambassador Council who voted to award the Grand Prize.
