The GSCA Achievement Awards have not been given since the 2019 Conference in Victoria, and the GSCA Event Planning Committee, with input from member distributors, has voted for the following approach for the 2022 awards to address the backlog in eligible films.
Film Awards
All films released in 2019 that were not included in the 2019 awards are eligible for consideration in the 2022 awards. All films released in 2020, 2021, and through May 31, 2022, may choose to be included in this year’s awards or wait until 2023. Films are only eligible for consideration for one awards ceremony. The GSCA Film Awards Critieria can be found here.
Marketing and Education Recognition
There will not be any marketing and education awards this year. Because we would still like to celebrate the industry, each distributor can recognize one theater that has done great work. These are not “awards” but rather recognition that will be included in the awards ceremony. Distributors will submit a video up to one minute explaining who they are recognizing and why.
Outstanding Achievement
Nominated by GSCA members, the Outstanding Achievement Award recognizes industry contributions of lasting impact. Nominations for the 2022 awards will be accepted until June 17. Criteria and the nominations process for the GSCA Outstanding Achievement Award are available here.
