The Septimius Awards is an international award ceremony showcasing Feature Films, Documentaries, Shorts, Animations, Television Series, and Screenplays. Its goal is to showcase films and projects from around the world and grant awards to the best nominees at its yearly festival.
The Septimius Awards is a strong supporter of new talent and visionary ideas. What makes the Septimius Awards unique is its approach to three categories. Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Film. Unlike most conventional award ceremonies, it has decided to split these three categories by continent. This creates a greater global representation of talent. Furthermore, the event offers extensive network opportunities.
The 2023 edition of the event was held on September 25 and 26 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
