Polls Open September 21st September 21st - October 6th
THREE weeks to watch and vote since there are so many films
October 15th, 2014 Our goal in all categories of voting, be it viewer’s choice or staff/judges polls, is fairness. We have often struggled with this, and strive each year to come up with a process to improve this. We are aiming to settle on a system that will stay in place with minimal changes in the future so that each of you will feel comfortable with the consistency and familiarity each season. The purpose of the polls is primarily about recognition and celebration of talents. We hope that you will find the broader range of voting options allow you to express your appreciation for the various talents that we see at SIFF each season. We know everyone won’t vote on all categories, but please take some time to vote where you feel inspired. The film makers thank you for your support.

What more does a film maker really want than approval and praise from their fans? What more does a fan want than to be able to cast their vote for their faves to show their support? Viewer’s choice is all of that. From this season forward we are giving you, the fans, more opportunities than ever to play a role in the outcome of the awards because we know that your opinions count more than anything else. There are two different sections for Viewer’s Choice - the categories where you vote for your faves from each of the machinima categories as in all previous seasons, and the new special recognition categories. For these, the staff will filter out appropriate nominees for a variety of special categories, then we will put them out there for you to vote on. Here is what to expect‌
Best SIFF Promo Vid Best Film Promotional Trailer Best Music Video Best of the Masters Best Film Best Series Best MEP
These are the new, special recognition categories that we will voters to help us decide on. We ask that you take some time to review the submissions and help us decide on these important recognition categories.
Best Male and Female Voice Actor This is a challenging one. The staff will review every single voiced role and will nominate for both male and female. Considered for nomination are those who voiced the roles of major characters, or who’s voice acting stood out as being particularly skilled or captivating. We regret that we cannot include every single voice actor in these polls due to the sheer numbers, but also as we consider the award to be best suited to those who have voiced major roles where we can judge the talent and skill. All roles voiced by the actor should be considered.
Best Title Design This is a visual/graphic art recognition, for outstanding title sequence, be it the title of their studio or the title of the actual film.
Best Storyline in a Master, Short or Full-Length Machinima For this award we ask that you consider the story itself, rather than the entire machinima process. We want to recognize the ability to write a good story and dialogue.
Best Choreography or Performance in a Music Video One component of a good music video is the choreography of the dancers or a strong band performance that gives the production the feel of a real-life music video.
