How to apply
Previously known as Grand Scores, the ECSA European Film Composer Awards have been renamed the Camille Awards as a tribute to Camille Saint-Saëns, the composer of the first music ever composed for a fiction film, namely The Assassination of the Duke of Guise in 1908.
The European Film Composer Awards is an event dedicated to celebrate film music and its composers. Scores from different categories will be awarded during a ceremony in Paris (France) in the frame of the ECSA Autumn Session, taking place end September or early October 2024. The exact date will be announced soon.
The following achievements shall be honoured annually with a Camille Award:
- Best Original Film Score Award presented for one film score in the respective year(s).
- Best Original Music for a Drama Series Award presented for one score for a drama series screened in the respective year(s).
- Best Original Score for a Feature Documentary Award presented for music written directly for a feature documentary in the respective year(s).
Eligibility
- Only the principal credited composer/s responsible for the conception and execution of the work as a whole shall be eligible for a Camille Award.
- Only original scores made specifically for the production are eligible.
- An original score is a substantial body of original music.
- An audible and significant rendition of the music must be used in the body of the film. It is the film/TV series version of the music that will be considered.
- Scores will qualify as eligible if the motion picture or TV series for which the score was composed has had its European premiere screening between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2023. This edition of the Camille Awards thus covers a period of two years, as there was no ceremony organised in 2023.
- Unless noted otherwise, scores for motion pictures will be eligible if they are used in a feature-length fiction film that had its European premiere in a commercial cinema theatre or on online public streaming platforms.
- If not in English, the movies and series (pilot or first episodes) for which the scores have been written, must be submitted with English subtitles.
- The submissions by the different organisations should be of scores composed by a composer of their own countries – regardless of the origin of the production etc.
- The production companies will need to provide a link with password or information on where to access the movies, documentaries and series (pilot episodes) from which the scores have been written, for a sufficient amount of time (at least 3 months). The ECSA Member organisations must present the Camille Awards concept and the possibility to receive a prize to receive the support of the movies and series representatives.
