Judges: What makes a great Ten Second Film? We brought together some innovative filmmakers to help figure it out. About the judging process: Films that made the first cut were published on the competition site, where they were rated by visitors. The top 20 user-rated films became Finalists. The judges reviewed these finalists to pick the First, Second, and Third place winners.
