Judging Standards
The Anti-Defamation League, which sponsors the awards, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry. Founded in 1913, ADL works to secure justice and fair treatment for all people.
The ADL Dore Schary Awards for film and video productions will be based on the following considerations:
- Subjects such as prejudice and discrimination, ethnic and minority portraits, encountering life's problems with bias or intolerance, or insights into the diversity of different cultures, races, religions, genders, or social groups
- Imagination and creativity
- Technical excellence
Academy Award winner Dore Schary (1905-1980) was one of Hollywood's most distinguished writers, directors and producers. His 372 film credits include many issue-oriented films such as Boys Town, Crossfire, the prestigious 1947 film dealing with anti-Semitism, The Boy With Green Hair and a host of other motion pictures that are eloquent testimony to his love of people and his passionate respect for diversity.
Judging
Finalists will be judged by the Dore Schary Awards Committee, comprised of television industry professionals. Pre-screening committees will evaluate entries to select the finalists. Winners will be announced in October.
Shipping Instructions
It is suggested that entries be insured and sent by registered mail.
Indemnification
All reasonable care will be taken to protect films and videocassettes from loss or damage, but neither the Anti-Defamation League nor its judging committees can assume liability. Sorry, entries can not be returned.
