Latitude Film Awards is an independent film competition dedicated to recognising and rewarding outstanding filmmaking talent from around the world. We celebrate films that demonstrate creativity, innovation and excellence, honouring both emerging and established filmmakers across a diverse range of categories.
Submissions do not compete directly against one another. Instead, each project is evaluated on its own merits against a high standard of excellence. Entries are assessed across a range of criteria, including originality and creativity, direction, writing, cinematography, performances, production value, pacing, structure, and sound design/music.
Platinum Award winners are guaranteed a screening slot at our annual screening event in London.
