- Audience Choice Award (chosen by the audience)
- Best Feature Film Award

- Best Short Film Award
- DELIGHTFUL MISCHIEF Special Award

There are no cash awards (yet), but besides an official award ceremony, there will also be small handcrafted physical awards which will be sent out to the filmmakers.
