The Chris Awards - The Columbus Film and Video Festival

"The Chris Statuette" is the highest award given to film or video productions in each of the subject matter categories. Entries are judged on a seven point rating system. A superior rating of seven is required for winning the Chris. Ties are possible, if in the opinion of the panel, different styles of production merit more than one winner.

Productions are competitively evaluated against other productions in their division and category as well as on the merits stated above.

Chris winners are widely recognized as receiving the hallmark of superior quality. The Chris Award is presented to work receiving a rating of seven.
