The Lannore Awards honour independent films published on Lannore. These rules apply to every Award season. Each season also has season rules, published on its Award page before entries open, which state the dates, the countries in which the season is open, the categories, the prize fund and any additional eligibility requirements. Where the season rules differ from these rules, the season rules prevail. The Terms of Use and, for entrants, the Creator Terms apply in addition.

1. Nature of the Awards

1.1 The Awards are a competition in which a jury and the audience assess the artistic merit of films. Winners are decided by assessment and votes, not by chance. The Awards are not a lottery, sweepstake or game of chance.

1.2 Entering a film and voting are free of charge. No purchase is required to enter. Voting requires watching the film (section 4.2); a film that is available on Lannore only against payment can be voted for by those who have access to it, but voters do not win anything.

1.3 A season is open only in the countries named in its season rules. It is not open where the law prohibits it or where Lannore is not offered (Terms of Use, section 1.5). Where local law requires a registration, a deposit or another formality for a prize competition, the season opens there only once we have completed it.

2. Timetable

2.1 Each season has an entry period, an audience voting period, a jury period and a date on which the results are expected to be published. The exact dates and times (in UTC) are shown on the Award page. Entries and votes received outside these periods are not considered. The time recorded by our servers is decisive.

2.2 A season opens only once its entire prize fund has been set aside in full (section 6.1).

3. Entries

3.1 A film can be entered by the creator profile that published it on Lannore. The film must have been accepted and published on Lannore when it is entered, and must remain available on Lannore until the results are published. Each film can be entered once per season. The season rules may set further requirements, for example a release period, a maximum running time for Best Short, or a first feature or first film for Best Debut.

3.2 By entering, you confirm that you hold the rights needed for the film to be shown and voted on during the season in the countries in which the season is open, and you agree that we may use the title, credits, stills, poster and trailer of the film, the names of its creators and the result to announce, present and document the Awards, including after the season and in archived form.

3.3 Our team checks every entry for eligibility. Until it has confirmed eligibility, the film cannot be voted for. We may exclude an entry that does not meet these rules, the season rules, the Creator Terms or the Community Guidelines; we tell you the reason.

3.4 You can withdraw an entry until the voting period begins by writing to contact@agimetis.com. If a film is withdrawn from Lannore or loses its eligibility later, the entry is excluded and its votes do not count.

3.5 Members of the jury, partners and employees of Lannore, and their close relatives cannot enter films, and films in which they were materially involved cannot enter.

4. Audience vote

4.1 Every member who has a verified account, whose country stated in the account is one in which the season is open, and who is at least 18 years old can vote.

4.2 To vote for a film, you must have watched at least 50 percent of it on Lannore during the voting period, as measured by our servers. You have one vote per audience category. A vote cannot be changed once it has been cast.

4.3 Votes must be your own, free decision. It is prohibited to buy, sell or trade votes, to offer or accept anything of value for a vote, to use more than one account, automated or manipulated viewing, or other ways of influencing the result unfairly. Creators may invite their audience to watch and vote, but may not offer anything in return for a vote.

4.4 We check votes and watch time for fraud. A vote connected with viewing that our fraud checks flag is held for review and counts only if the review clears it. We may exclude votes and, in serious cases, entries that benefit from manipulation, even if the creator did not cause it, where the manipulation cannot otherwise be neutralised. You can appeal the exclusion of your vote in the app; a different member of our team decides on the appeal.

4.5 Your vote is stored under a pseudonym. The link between your vote and your account is deleted at the latest 12 months after the results are published or the season is cancelled (Privacy Policy). We publish only totals and results, never who voted for which film.

5. Jury

5.1 The jury categories are decided by a jury that we appoint. We may publish the names of the jurors.

5.2 Jurors must declare conflicts of interest. A juror does not score a film in which they were involved, or whose creators are close relatives, business partners or close friends of theirs. Observers attend without scoring.

5.3 Each juror scores the eligible films independently. A film's jury score is the average of the scores it received from jurors who were allowed to score it.

6. Prize fund, results and prizes

6.1 The season rules state the prize fund and its currency. The prize fund is financed by Lannore in full before the season opens and does not depend on entries, votes or sales. Each category receives the share of the fund stated in the season rules; unless they say otherwise, each of the five categories (Grand Jury Prize, Audience Award, Best Director, Best Debut, Best Short) receives 20 percent. Purchases, subscriptions, sponsorship and Creator Pro have no influence on votes, jury scores or results.

6.2 In audience categories the film with the most valid votes wins; in jury categories the film with the highest jury score wins. If two or more films are tied, the film that was entered earlier wins.

6.3 Results are calculated automatically from the valid votes and scores. Before publication, three members of our team check them independently of each other. If no eligible film received a valid vote or score in a category, or the result in a category cannot be determined in accordance with these rules, no prize is awarded in that category, and its share of the fund is released.

6.4 Within the scope of these rules, the decisions of the jury and of Lannore on eligibility, the validity of votes and the result are final and binding (section 661(2) of the German Civil Code). This does not exclude a review of whether these rules were followed.

6.5 The prize is awarded to the creator profile that entered the winning film and is credited to its creator balance. It is paid out under the Creator Terms, in particular their section 9 (pending period, payout by SEPA bank transfer, minimum amount). The creator profile is responsible for sharing the prize with others involved in the film where it has agreed to do so.

6.6 Prizes are paid in the currency of the fund and cannot be exchanged for anything else. Winners are responsible for declaring and paying the taxes on their prize. We withhold taxes where the law requires it and may ask for tax forms or residence certificates for that purpose.

6.7 We may recover a prize that was awarded on the basis of manipulation, incorrect information or a breach of these rules, and offset it against the creator balance.

7. Changes and cancellation

7.1 Once entries are open, we do not change these rules or the season rules, except where the law or an official order requires it or to correct an obvious error; we publish every such change with its date and reason on the Award page.

7.2 We may cancel or interrupt a season for good cause, in particular if not enough eligible films are entered, if manipulation cannot be neutralised, if the law or an official order requires it, or in the case of force majeure. Setting deadlines does not waive this right (section 658(2) of the German Civil Code). If a season is cancelled, no prizes are awarded in the categories whose results have not been published. We publish the cancellation and its reason on the Award page. Entrants and voters have no claim to compensation, unless we cancelled without good cause.

8. Liability and law

8.1 Our liability is governed by section 10 of the Terms of Use and, for your region, section 17.

8.2 German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live.
