TIGERLAND AWARDS under TIFF aim to promote healthy creativity and competition among the budding wildlife filmmakers and artistes. The focus is on visual communication, and hence, two out of the three category-heads are related to visual media. Off late, a third category-head has been introduced in creative writing. Good writing and powerful words in the form of scripts are indispensable for effective visual communication.       

     Tigerland Awards not just provide a platform to the creatively-inclined to showcase their creativity and talent to a larger audience, but also an opportunity to win cash and other prizes for the same. The submission process has been designed to be totally online so that it is user-friendly as well as transparent.      

     Once the submissions close, a thorough judging process is carried out by an international jury. In order to ensure fairplay, we have devised the process in such a way that no juror knows about other jurors. Also, every entry category is adjudged by more than one juror. This ensures, to a large extent, that the deserving entry gets the award.      

     The awardees are felicitated at our gala-event TIFFest. The awards normally consist of a Trophy, a Certificate and a cash component. The non-awardees (those who have submitted their entries but could not get an award) are presented with a Certificate of Participation.
