DILLY IMPERMANENT CATEGORIES

Each year our Sociates put forth a number of impermanent category submissions and vote on which they’d like to feature in the awards. Our impermanent categories serve to highlight specific segments of themes or films that would otherwise be underrepresented. We hold space for two impermanent categories each year.

See our previous impermanent categories below:

  • A woman with curly hair dressed in a white T-shirt, grey skirt, hiking boots, and socks, standing in a grassy field, holding a rifle ready to fire. Other women are in the background aiming guns, with trees and hills in the distance, overcast sky.
