Audio Visual Competitions Open AV and PhotoHarmony
AVs entered in the OpenAV competition will be judged using internationally accepted criteria, where the quality and appropriateness of the images and the soundtrack, how those two interrelate and of the concept/production, will all contribute to the overall judgment.
AVs entered in the PhotoHarmony competition will only be judged on the quality of the images, the harmonious way they transition from one to the next and how those transitions relate to the soundtrack used. Any other features of the AV, such as a storyline, narration, graphics, or text, will not add any credit to the entry, though they will not penalise it.
Awards
The winner of the OpenAV competition will be awarded the ‘Tom Prince Trophy‘; the winner of the PhotoHarmony competition will be awarded the ‘Howard & Carole Bagshaw Trophy‘. In each competition, the judges will also award MCPF medals to the first and runner-up AVs. Each of the three judges will also award a ‘highly commended’ MCPF ribbon for their choice in each competition. Commendations may also be given at the discretion of the judges. The ‘Martin Fry Trophy’ will be awarded to the AV, across both competitions, which the audience present at the Championships, judge to be their favourite. New to 2022 The Andrew. N. Gagg Award Audio Visual Excellence awarded for narrative, including writing, delivery, fluency & expressiveness.
