Now in its sixth year, top-tier, international awards competition, The Accolade, announces its Call For Entries for filmmakers, television producers and videographers. 

The Accolade is a non-traditional, virtual venue. Awards go to those filmmakers, television producers and videographers who produce fresh, standout entertainment, animation and compelling documentaries. The Accolade is a showcase for cinematic gems and unique voices.
 
It receives entries from all over the world including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Hong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Puerto Rico, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and the United States.

There are three levels of awards, all based on quality and creativity: Best of Show, Award of Excellence and Honorable Mention. No more than 15 percent of entries are granted Awards of Excellence. Best of Show honors are granted only if worthy productions are discovered. Notable artistic and technical productions are recognized at the Honorable Mention award level. Annually, a special award is given to a production that makes a significant contribution to social change or a humanitarian effort.

Since The Accolade is not a traditional festival, viewership is attracted online through The Accolade's website, via targeted press releases directed to industry media and achieved with notifications to The Accolade's email database of more than 26,000 people including producers, distributors and buyers. The Accolade is an award recognized for its rigorous evaluation process by buyers and distributors; they are confident that winning productions are of high quality.

The Accolade team works passionately to help worthy productions gain the publicity and distribution they deserve. Clips of the Best of Show productions are streamed on The Accolade Web site.

Every filmmaker, television producer and videographer wants credibility associated with their work and buzz about their productions, and that is what The Accolade is all about. The goal of The Accolade is to help the winners of this coveted award achieve the recognition and distribution they deserve.
