A quick review of our viewers and voters show most folk coming from Australia (obviously) then the United States and then in 3rd place the Philippines. Head to your social media sites and get your friends - here and overseas - involved. Already we have interest from 85 different countries and we are keen to see last years total surpassed. Every vote counts (Please note: our system only allows 1 vote per email address).
A quick reminder that leaving a comment is appreciated and encourages our film makers and comments are not counted as votes - you need to do both! We already have films with some encouraging comments but (as yet) no votes.
