📋 Our Unique Judging System
To ensure each screenplay, novel, short film script, and teleplay is studied and rated individually, RFIFF has instituted a system in which entries do not compete against each other but are recognized for their own merits.
Each entry is judged on its inherent value system. When it's your turn to be evaluated, the judge's focus is entirely on your work—not on comparisons with other submissions. This ensures fair, focused, and thoughtful evaluation of every single entry.
