The Australian Screen Editors Guild is dedicated to the pursuit and recognition of excellence in Screen Editing and all forms of motion picture post production.
ASE TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE AWARD GUIDELINES 2025
The Technical Excellence Award acknowledges the outstanding work of people in the Editorial Department such as Assistants, Post Supervisors, VFX editors, Online Editors and Colourists.
We want to see innovative workflows, techniques, and processes that showcase the best our industry has to offer. It could be a new way to simplify a time intensive task, or it could be a large and complex production with many moving parts.
The application centres around detailing a problem and the solution employed on a production. The judges will evaluate the entry on three categories: Innovation, Difficulty, and Efficiency. To help articulate your case there is room to submit additional materials. What these are is up to you; they could be a workflow diagram, screenshots, before and after images etc.
The Technical Excellence Award is considered to be of equal standing to our other Editing awards. The nominees will be announced alongside our other categories and the winning application will receive the same trophy.
Any information contained in the application will be kept confidential and shared only with the awards team and judges of this category. When the nominees are announced, only the short summary will be shared with the public.
All entries must have had their first festival screening, theatrical release, television, VOD, online (or similar) or DVD release between 1st August 2024 and 31st July 2025.
Entry Fee - $80 (inc GST)
Entries must be received by midnight Sunday 10th August 2025.
