WAIT FOR FIRST EMAIL
At this step, our judges will decide who is "selected" and who is "not selected". They will express their opinion regarding all projects. In both cases you will receive an email with the project status. An email with "Selected" means that you became an official participant of the V.i.Z. Film Fest. If the email is "Not selected" it means that the judges decided not to include your project into the next step. We are very sorry. Don't be upset, everyone has their own vision. But we would definitely like to see your new project next time.
3
WAIT FOR STATUS CHANGING
It can be only five "Finalist"in each category except for categories "Best short Film" & "Best Short Director" where will be ten "Finalist". You will receive the second email if your project became "Finalist" in at least one of your chosen categories. If you don't receive the email you are not the one of the lucky five but you were lucky one the step before! That is why we would wait for your new project next time.

WE REVIEWED SOMETHING

This email is an incentive and appreciation of your hard work. Keep up the good job and best of luck in future projects which we would love to see next time.
