The U. S. International Film and Video Festival grants Gold Camera, Silver Screen and Certificate of Creative Excellence awards. Winners are selected on the effectiveness of purpose and creativity not just numerical scoring. Therefore, the top award in a category is not necessarily a Gold Camera, but may be a Silver or Certificate winner.
