Audience Award Voting

CC7D Audience Award: Your Vote, Your Glory

Sure, our jury hands out the “official” trophies, but the Audience Award?

That’s the people’s choice. That’s your power move. That’s bragging rights you can wield forever — “Oh, I voted for them before it was cool.”

Here’s how to make your vote count (literally).

Step 1: The Ballot Drop

Before each flight of films, a friendly CC7D volunteer will hand you a paper ballot listing the films you’re about to see.
A
t the end of the flight, circle your favorite. One. Uno. Singular sensation.

If you circle more than one, your vote’s out — and that’s no fun for anyone.

Step 2: Beat the Clock

When the flight ends, take your clearly-marked ballot box. Drop it in one of the Audience Award Ballot Boxes in the theater hallway.

Do this during the intermission before the next flight starts.

Once that next flight begins? The ballot box becomes a no-go zone for your last round’s vote.

Example: A Flight 1 ballot dropped during the break between Flights 2 & 3 = instant disqualification. Sad trombone. 🎺

Step 3: The Big Showdown

The top three vote-getters from each flight move on to the Audience Award Finals at the House of Rock Awards Ceremony.

That’s 9 films, one winner, and one very cool moment for you to shout “I helped pick that!”

Step 4: Token of Your Affection

All-Day Pass Holders get one Audience Award Finals voting token at the start of Screening Day.

Hold onto it like it’s made of gold (because lost tokens are gone forever, no exceptions).

At House of Rock, you’ll find a ballot box for each finalist in front of the stage. Drop your token in the box for the film you want to win.

Finals voting runs from approximately 7:30 pm to 8:15 pm — don’t miss it. After that, the boxes close, the votes are counted, and history is made.

Quick Recap of the Golden Rules:

Circle ONE film per flight ballot.
Drop your ballot before the next flight starts.
Keep your Finals voting token safe — no replacements.
No late ballots. No late tokens. No exceptions.

So go forth, cinephiles. Watch. Cheer. Circle. Drop. Vote.

And maybe — just maybe — you’ll be part of crowning this year’s Audience Award champion.
