Festival Structure
The American Golden Picture International Film Festival is an annual event. The festival's live screening takes place once each year in June or July.
On the Notification Date, the festival announces the films that have been Officially Selected for the annual live screening event.
On the second day of the Event, the festival announces the winners in each category. The results are published on the festival's website and social media platforms, and each winner receives a digital Golden Certificate.
Each year, our international judging panel evaluates all submitted films and selects the award winners in every category. From among the highest-scoring winning films, the festival's programming team selects the films to be presented at the annual live screening event. The selected filmmakers are notified by email.
