The TIVA-DC Peer Awards celebrates excellence in local media production and talent and continues to be one of the most sought-after awards in our community. What makes the Peer Awards so unique is that each entry is judged by fellow industry professionals and rated on the highest standard of excellence. Every entrant, from independent producers and talent to large production companies, has an equal chance at winning a Gold, Silver or Bronze Peer Award. And with more new categories added this year your work can be recognized in more categories than ever before.
There are two main categories for submissions: Production categories and Skills categories. Production categories are those in which an entire show is judged. Judges review all of the skills that went into creating a body of work, from pre-production, through production, to post-production. Programs entered in these categories are typically submitted by the Producer, but may be entered by anyone whose work went into the show’s production. In the Skills categories, judges are only looking at a single skill. Therefore, Skills categories are usually entered by individuals who are showcasing their own particular talent, such as their skill in directing, writing, sound design, editing, and so forth. However, a Producer may enter for the editor, actor, DP, or other skilled professional who worked on the piece. In fact, Producers are encouraged to enter their actors, gaffers, DPs, writers, and editors if those individuals do not plan on entering their work themselves.
Production categories include programs in the following genres: documentary; docudrama; entertainment; children’s program; magazine program; commercial; public service announcement; program/series open; interstitial; pro bono; education/training; public relations/marketing; internal communications; internet-only; independent feature; independent short; art/experimental; music video; student production (both dramatic and non-dramatic); and pro bono. Many of these are broken down into subcategories by budget, so that projects with similar budgets are judged together.
The Skills categories, many of which are also broken down into subcategories by budget, include: acting (dramatic and non-dramatic); voiceover; directing; editing; graphics; scriptwriting; original composition; sound design; sound mixing; director of photography; lighting/design/direction; makeup; wardrobe; and set design.
Entry fees for Production categories are $125 for the first entry and $75 for subsequent entries. In the Skills categories, the first entry is $75 and subsequent entries are $50. College students may enter for $25, and work that was produced pro bono may be entered for free.
