Frankenstein Awards

The Frankenstein Awards are a sacred Rite of Passage for Young Creators of Monsters. The Frankenstein Awards are not just a film festival. They are an initiation. An initiation into our Community, an initiation into the Arts, an initiation into your ability to create life. This is a celebration of cinematic misfits, mad scientists, first experiments, reckless imagination, and lovingly stitched-together dreams. If you’ve built something strange, brave, or alive- this is where it belongs. Our philosophy: The Frankenstein Awards exist to honor bold creation, not perfection. We recognize films not for isolated technical achievements, but for: originality, vision, imagination, heart, gusto, and contribution to the greater monster-making community. These awards are about becoming, not polishing. Our inaugural Frankenstein Awards ceremony will be: filmed and released online. A show for the world to see…or fear. Selected filmmakers will become part of a growing mythos, archive, and community centered around bold creation. If your film is strange, heartfelt, daring, or alive in ways you can’t fully explain- Submit it. Your monster deserves to walk. To march. To take over the world! Event Date: November 7, 2026 The Frankenstein Awards will present four trophies for each category. Winners receive a custom Frankenstein Awards monster trophy-physical symbol of creation, risk, and cinematic life. These are not certificates. They are artifacts. As the Frankenstein.
