The main feature is a film over 14 minutes in length that has a mountainous, outdoor, environmental or ecological theme to it. It must have been made within the last four years and not have been entered in LLAMFF previously.

A short is a film that is 14 minutes long or under, that has a mountainous, outdoor, environmental or ecological theme to it. It must have been made within the last four years and not have been entered in Llamff previously.

A newcomer is defined as a film maker who has previously not produced a film that has been made into a DVD, been shown on Television or had a film shown at a film festival before. Again the film should have a mountainous, outdoor, environmental or ecological theme to it. As an entrant to the best newcomer category, this does not preclude you from either of the other two categories.

The people’s choice film is as the title would suggest a film entered in one of the above categories that is voted to be the favourite by the audiences at the screenings.

Last submissions for films is the 31st of January 2011.
