In it's 4th year in 2015, we received submissions from over 255 documentary features, shorts, and impact videos, narrowed to 30 finalists and then 15 winners. Finalists and winners are invited to join the SIMAx travelling series, SIMA Classroom, and VOD collection; and those selected for our Jury Prizes collected cash prizes (totalling $6,000). We had our first Winners Series, screening our 2016 SIMA Awards winners, with The Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA starting in April 2016. Past SIMA Award finalist and winning films in our VOD collection gained over 130 rentals/ downloads in FY 2015. | $0 | $33,000 |
