To ensure that each screenplay or film is read, studied, and rated individually,
HIFF has instituted a system in which entries do not compete against each other but are recognized for their merits.
They compete against themselves: each entry is judged on its merits and scored according to an inherent value system.
When it is your turn to be evaluated, the judges focus on your screenplay, not on all the other screenplays in the cue. This ensures that they won't have comparisons going on in their minds when they should focus entirely on you.
