Suggestion for award winner/nominee display under festivals.

I recently added my NOMINEE status under one film festival, and it reflects as a nominee on my page and the title page. However, a festival programmer contacted me, saying that on the FESTIVAL PAGE, my title being displayed as a BEST FILM without saying winner or nominee, which leaves an wrong impression that it is the winner. I believe that the festival page needs to specify each title either it's the winner or the nominee.

Well, without stating the title page nor the festival page...

TJ: Does this refer to the same problem you raised a couple of weeks ago, regarding the San Sebastián Horror and Fantasy Film Festival? See https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/issue-with-award-winner-nominee-display-under-festivals for the prior discussion, and if so, the event page is at https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000991/2018/1/.

The problem is that none of the films on that page have a "Winner" tag, and apparently the winning films have not even been entered onto the IMDb page for the award event. See https://www.sansebastianhorrorfestival.eus/2018/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id... for the listing of the winning films.

If anyone wants to clean up the awards page here, even just adding the winners in the currently listed categories would be an improvement.

Audience Award, Best Short Film: Baghead (2017). Alberto Corredor
Jury Prize, Best Short Film: Baghead (2017). Alberto Corredor.

On the other hand, I don't see a "Proyecto Corto" Prize listed in the festival's list of winners, and there are two different prizes for Best Spanish Short: an Audience Award and a Syfy Award. So that part of the data will need to be cleaned up.

Champion: My previous post was turned down and suggested to repost as "new idea" so I did this time. Yes, I'm aware of everything you pointed out. The problem is that, until someone (most likely the award winners) claims as the winner for the particular festival, the rest of the nominees would appear like the award winners. This is the whole issue and this is the general issue for the rest of the hundreds more festival pages.

So who is going to add Baghead to the San Sebastián Film Fest page? Not me unfortunately, and that wouldn't be the radical solution to this issue. The admin should simply add the code so that "nominee" banner automatically appears on each nominated title. I entered my title as a nominee, so it should be reflected so on every page. 

For "Proyecto Corto" Prize, at the press conference in San Sebastián, I was explained that my short was nominated for 3 categories. I assumed Proyecto Corto Prize was one of them as it was one of the 3 choices in the pull down menu. But I will look into it.

TJ: After reading your comment, I understand now that this thread is intended to be for discussion of the general idea of having a "Nominee" banner on every nominee other than a winner on every awards page.

Although anyone can submit "Baghead" to IMDb as a winner for the awards that it won, I take it that you are looking for a broader solution so that all listed titles will have either "Winner" or "Nominee" banners.
