The Genero Awards recognise talent and vision in our amazing, global community of filmmakers.

For projects launched in 2012, Genero hand picked exceptional videos to become Genero Nominees. In addition, the winning videos from each project automatically became Genero Nominees. All Genero Nominees from the year then went into the running for the 2012 Genero Awards and a payment pool of $25,000!
