Awards for film not showing up

Good evening, I worked on a film that won two awards from the same festival and I have no idea how to go about adding the awards to the films page. The film is "Manefesting Madeline" and it won both "Best LGBT Short Film" and "Best Sound Designing" at the "Uravatti International Film Festival: January 2021"

We have the posts on the official festival page as proof but it's not reflecting on IMDB and there was no option for awards in the edit page menu.

Ryan: All awards for films must be submitted by starting not from the film's IMDb page, but from the page for the award event. The list of award events recognized by IMDb can be found at https://www.imdb.com/event/all .

Unfortunately, though, I don't see the Uravatti International Film Festival listed on that page. Therefore, in order to get these awards listed, you would first have to submit the festival to IMDb as an award event, wait for it to be accepted, and then submit your film's awards to the festival's awards page.

The criteria for an award event to be included can be found at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/other-submission-guides/events/G9DXDPWT2TWSXP8U# .

To actually submit the festival as an award event, go to https://help.imdb.com/contact . Then select "IMDb Contributor", and in the succeeding menus, select "I need help and haven't submitted an update", then "Events & awards", then "Add new events to IMDb". Then click "E-mail".

On the following screen, there will be an e-mail form for you to fill out to provide information about the festival as follows:

  • Name of event: 
  • Location: 
  • Year Event Launched: 
  • Main Topic of Event (Movie/TV/Video Game/Other): 
  • Official Website of Event: 
  • Event Press Coverage Link: 
  • Additional Link 1: 
  • Additional Link 2: 
  • Method of Choosing Award Nominees/Winners (please include information about the jury here if applicable): 
  • Supplementary Information: 

Once you have completed the form, click "Send E-mail".

I hope this helps. Good luck!
