The audience selects the awardees for the best feature film and the best documentary in Zurich.
All films chosen for the Pink Apple Film Festival will automatically participate in the Audience Award if they have been produced during the last 3 years and have a minimum length of 60 minutes.
Films are evaluated by voting cards distributed to the audience. These cards are collected immediately after the screening. Voting is optional and anonymous. Each film is rated on a scale from 10 (excellent) to 1 (weak). The festival board counts out the votes and calculates the average of all points given to each film. The winners in each category are published on Pink Apple's website after the festival. The directors and/or the film distribution companies of the winning films and the media will duly be informed.
The winners of the Audience Award and their production and distribution companies are expected to mention the award in all their publicity and promotional material and to place the official Pink Apple logo appropriately.
