The evening will commence with an informal reception, with photographers on hand to capture your red carpet moment.
We’re honoured to announce veteran BBC broadcaster John ‘Gilly’ Gillmore as our Festival Patron.
Gilly has followed our filmmaking journey since 2015, so we’re thrilled to have him on board for our latest venture.
A true champion of all things Lancashire, Gilly will be supporting us throughout the festival, and will also be hosting our Screening Event and presenting the awards on the night.
For each category in turn, a short trailer of nominees will be shown, followed by the announcement of runner-up and winner. Winners and runners-up will be presented with trophies and certificates and given the opportunity to say a few words. The winning film from each category will be screened immediately following the film category award presentation.
For each Individual award, a short trailer showcasing the nominees work will be shown, and the winners and runners-up will be announced. Winners and runners-up will be presented with trophies and certificates and given the opportunity to say a few words.
Opportunities for networking and celebrating will be scheduled once the running order is finalised.
