OK, I understand a bit better now. However, like Neon said, I think your film will have gained more attention through being a Top 10 film on the first page of the list than it would if it had like 50 votes, was on page 12, and won "Best Short Under 10 Minutes" in their contest.Sham wrote:That is a list based on votes. At the start of the contest, all contestants were instructed to keep their film in the Top 10, and the judges were going to evaluate and grade each of those ten films on an even playing field. So 1st place could've been 10th, and 10th place could've been first. Only one film from that Top 10 won anything. With five opportunities to win, that means 80% of the winners weren't even in the Top 10. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Sucks that they moved the goalposts, but the attention you've raised for the film will be invaluable compared to placing. IMO of course.
