The following nominees were culled from a process that began with over 1,000 submissions to the 2017 festival. Each category, unless otherwise noted, has 8 nominees. Categories were expanded this year to include more awards, many of which will now be awarded a high quality, brushed silver plaque while the major categories will be awarded the coveted FilmQuest Cthulhu Trophy at the Closing Night Awards Ceremony September 16th, 2017 at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo, Utah.
As usual, the secret nominee will be announced at the Awards Ceremony itself. FilmQuests unique approach to keeping nominees, and potential winners (as has often been the case), on their toes has proven to be a favorite of many and adds an element of surprise.
In order for a category winner to receive a FilmQuest Cthulhu Trophy, it must be a major category (Best of, Best Actor, Actress, Director, Screenplay, etc.). All other categories will receive a high quality plaque for their win. We do provide a way for all winners to also receive a Cthulhu Trophy if so desired through our award manufacturer at Society Awards. We cut back on Cthulhu’s in 2017 (while still giving out over 20!) in order to hand out more awards, and recognize both the shorts and features more fully.
