Let your voice be heard

Your vote keeps film independent.

One of the benefits of being a Film Independent member is the privilege of voting for the annual Spirit Awards. An informed vote really makes a difference, both to the filmmakers and to the integrity of the process.

HOW TO VOTE

There are two ways to vote: you can mark a paper ballot or vote online. NOTE: Only one ballot per registered voter will be accepted either via paper ballot or online. Paper ballots received on time will override an online vote.
