Awards

The Pretoria film festival offers a multitude of awards to the competing films. The awards are divided in two categories, Filmmaking and screenwriting. The title of the awards is inspired by the Pretoria coat of arms which features two large buck - the Kudu and the Eland. These buck are well known and very promenent in Southern Africa and widely recognised by their size and their uniqe horns. The winners of each category recieve either a Golden Kudu trophy (if it is a filmmaking award) or a Golden Eland (if it is a screenwriting award).

The Golden Eland Awards are for all screenwriting submissions. The Best Screenplay Award is awarded to the Best Screenplay of a submitted film. Meanwhile the Best Short Script and Best Feature Script are awarded to script submissions only (script only, a film has not been made...yet).
