MARCH 31, 2008 - Home Media Magazine announces the fourth annual DVD Critics Awards, presented in conjunction with the Seventh Annual Home Entertainment Summit, to be held in June in Los Angeles.
Winners will be determined by a panel of judges comprised of DVD critics and industry journalists. There is no entry fee for sponsors of the conference; for all others, the entry fee is $150 per title, per category. There is no limit on the number of entries.
The awards honor DVD releases that came to market in calendar year 2007, focusing on the entire disc treatment — sound and picture, menu design, ease of use, navigation, bonus materials, packaging, etc.
Suppliers and producers can nominate entries in the following 12 categories:
- Best Theatrical DVD
- Best DTV/Non-Theatrical DVD
- Best TV DVD
- Best Classic/Catalog DVD
- Best DVD Collection/Multidisc Set
- Best Animation DVD
- Best Kidvid DVD
- Best Non-Fiction DVD
- Best Extended Cut/Director’s Cut
- Best Special Features/Bonus Materials
- Best Packaging
- Best High-Def title
A “Best of Show” award also will be presented to the title that in the judges’ opinion is the best all around from the entire pool of submitted entries. However, best of show is not a category for separate submissions.
A complete list of rules, submission guidelines and entry forms is available at HomeMediaConferences.com.
Entry forms with valid contact information should be submitted with and 10 finished-product copies of each submission per award category (e.g. one title submitted in 2 different categories means 20 copies) to:
DVD Awards c/o Kaitlyn DeWaard
Home Media Magazine
201 Sandpointe Avenue, Suite 500
Santa Ana, CA 92707
The deadline is Friday, May 2, 2008. Titles received after this date may not be eligible for consideration.
For entries from non-sponsors, checks payable to Home Media Magazine, noting DVD Critics Awards in the reference line, should be sent with the product copies to the address above.
