Trying to add festival awards for titles

Hi there, I'm trying to add festival awards for certain titles for a film festival. The pages are created. I find them when I search. However, when I go to add the award, they are not there as an option in the contribute section. 

For example, these two are not showing up as an option when I try to enter an award. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27353952/?ref_=nm_flmg_i_1_act

andhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt20453268/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk

Trying to add for the Spotlight International Film Festival. 

How can I move forward? Thanks so much!

Hi @kry2004 -

Would you mind linking the page to the festival you are trying to add?

Cheers!

Krystal: Are you dealing with a situation like this:

That is, you are trying to submit an award for a film titled Threshold, but the specific film you are looking for doesn't show up among the choices?
If so, the issue is that there are a lot of films titled Threshold and the awards pages will only give you a choice of 20 of them. In fact, there are at least four films titled Threshold from 2022 alone.
So you have to enter the title more specifically. You can do this either by entering the title in exact IMDb format, which in this case would be:
Threshold (2022/IV)
or substitute its IMDb title constant as found in the URL for the film, which would be:
tt27353952
Once you click "Re-check these updates", you will find that the title constant has been replaced with the formatted IMDb title, Threshold (2022/IV).
You would have to follow a similar procedure for the other film you mentioned, Bound (2022/II) -- there are at least 40 films in the database titled Bound, and at least one other film by that title from 2022.
(If you are dealing with a different problem, please provide further details.)
I hope this helps. Good luck!
