Entries open from 1 May 31 July to colourists on any grading platform
The FilmLight Colour Awards are returning for their fifth year, with colourists, production companies and facilities invited to put forward their submissions from 1 May - 31 July 2025. The awards are open to colourists working on any grading system and are independently evaluated by a panel of distinguished cinematographers, fellow colourists, media experts and industry figures.
Once again this year, colourists can submit their favourite projects across six categories: Theatrical Feature; Television Series/Episodic (including documentary/non-fiction); Commercial; Music Video; Emerging Talent (open to colourists age 18-35, for commercial or music video projects); and Spotlight, which recognises colourists who have contributed to the creative impact of a film with a total budget of less than $3 million USD.
Since starting in 2021, the FilmLight Colour Awards have gone from strength to strength, with more than 500 entries in 2024, from over 48 countries.
I was inspired enormously by the quality of work, said George Miller, Jury Guest of Honor, from the 2024 ceremony. There are many things that allow enthusiasm for the moving image, and two of them are key: the evolution of the tools we have to work with, and the artists whose brilliance we acknowledge here.
Last year FilmLight added the Emerging Talent category, to promote the work of a new generation of colourists. It was won by freelance colourist Douglas Dutton for his work on the Baltic, Harmonical Diffraction' commercial.
It's an immense honour to be selected as a winner in the Emerging Talent category, said Dutton. Getting recognition from people I look up to in the industry feels phenomenal. Thank you FilmLight for organising this incredible event.
The 2025 winners will be announced at a dedicated ceremony at EnergaCAMERIMAGE on Sunday 16 November 2025, where their projects will be showcased to the global community of cinematographers, colourists and creatives attending the festival. In recognition of their achievement, all 2025 winners will also receive a one year licence for Baselight M, the new macOS version of FilmLight's Baselight grading system.
You can watch highlights from the 2024 ceremony in the new teaser video, and see the full list of 2024 nominees and winners here.
The awards are led and organised by FilmLight, in conjunction with EnergaCAMERIMAGE. It's also supported by the AFC (French Society of Cinematographers), AMC (Mexican Society of Cinematographers), ASC (American Society of Cinematographers), BSC (British Society of Cinematographers), BVK (German Society of Cinematographers), CNSC (Chinese Society of Cinematographers), CSI (Colorist Society International), ISC (Indian Society of Cinematographers), ShotDeck (fully-searchable cinematic image library), and more.
