North Carolina Film AwardsThank you for your interest in the North Carolina Film Awards. The North Carolina Film Awards (NCFA) calls for filmmakers to submit their work starting from October 1 through December 30th, 2014. The Mission of the North Carolina Film Awards is to strengthen the independent film, television and video industry. The NCFA shall identify and recognize an array of talented filmmakers and their movies from across the state, region and nation. Features and Shorts, are welcome at the North Carolina Film Awards, bringing in the widest array of artists from different disciplines. The North Carolina Film Awards draws motion pictures and talent from around the world to North Carolina, one of the top movie and television producers in the United States. Our awards will identify the top achievers in their category. Every producer and director hopes to create an award winning movie. To a worthy cadre of independent industry craftsman, it is our honor to bring these hopes to fruition. Each year awards are given in three categories. These awards are given by the body of the academy and are judged by industry professionals. In each category there can be multiple winners. There is no stated limit to the number of winners or finalists in any given category. The entries do not compete against each other, but rather they are judged based upon a "high standard of merit".
