audience award

The Audience Award is a recognition given to films, performances, or projects based on votes from the audience rather than a jury of experts. It often highlights what the general public enjoys most at film festivals or competitions. Winners are typically determined through audience participation, where viewers rate or vote for their favorites. This award reflects popular opinion and resonates with broader audiences, showcasing works that connect with people emotionally and culturally. It serves as a testament to a film's appeal beyond critical acclaim.
