Innovative and budget film making is encouraged (iPhones, SLRs, etc)
All films must have a coherent connection to coffee or coffee culture and be non-commercial in nature
Film length: 3 minutes minimum - 5 minutes maximum
All works must be new work produced after January 2021
Broad judging criteria include: demonstrating a unique personal vision, creativity, fresh and original content.
