are way of saying Thank You - for keeping us in the

HOW THE FINALISTS ARE SELECTED
There are two different
nomination methods; FLICSTM nominate location
scouts, managers or production companies who
have exemplified above and beyond levels of
performance while filming on-location. And
Industry professionals may also nominate
individuals or companies that embody those
levels of performance that bring the
on-location experience to the level of art.
Nomination categories include Features,
Television - Episodic, Commercials and Music Videos.
The nomination is a
written description of unusual or difficult
situations outlining how the challenge was
met and solved by the location professional.
Consideration is given to how well the
location professional communicated with the
film commission and cared for the community
as well as the production company.
Nominations are submitted
to the COLA committee for review and ballot
preparation. The ballot listing all
nominations is presented to the FLICSTM network for a vote, narrowing the nominees
to three finalists in each category. The
finalists are then presented to an industry
panel of judges to determine the winner. The
finalists and winners are recognized at the
California On Location AwardsTM event.
Additional awards for
outstanding production companies and public
agencies are also determined through the
same nomination process.
