All the films are watched by three members of our jury of respected professionals in the international film, advertising, and marketing worlds. They follow pre-established criteria to determine which films stand out in their categories and deserve recognition. The idea of ​​the award is to showcase those who put effort, creativity and hard work into productions that have something to say. It does not matter if it is a low-cost independent film, a project by a first-time director, or a prestigious award-winning production, at OTB International we want to empower all those who are creating art and looking for a way to spread it around the world. The idea is to inspire and be inspired, helping to build new careers and consolidate those that already exist. All the films are given the same attention and care and each month we announce the official selections, the finalists, and the winners. The winners can be recognized in three different sections: “Only The Best Awards,” the main award, in addition to the “Jury Awards,” and “Honorable Mentions,” – awards for productions that deserve to be recognized and were very close to the greatest achievement. Every month, if the jury reaches a consensus that there was a film that stood out in an extraordinary way among all those entered, a ilm gets a special award: the “Best of The Month.” All the jury’s decisions are final. We do not disclose the votes and jury scores.

Yes,  mainly because of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The health of all participants is very important. However, in 2022 we plan to hold it in Miami for all the winners of each month of “Best of The Month” and “Only The Best Award,” with a red carpet and great surprises.
