Anyone know the Golden Globes? The Oscars? Right, we neither. The most coveted awards out there are the Kaboom Awards. Who went home with the prizes of our jury and our audience? You can find out here!
We’re keeping our fingers crossed because the winners of the Official Kaboom Competition, in the categories Best Short Film and Best Dutch Short, are automatically eligible to enter the Academy Award® Short Film competition. This is an important recognition because these two winning films will get the chance to be qualified for an Oscar®.
But that’s not all! The winners in the categories Best Short Film, Best Documentary, Best Jamie Bolio, Best VR, and Best Student Short are going to the Annie Awards.
