The Best of Boroughs (BOBs) Film Awards
Film London has launched a new prize for London short film-making in partnership with ITV Local - the capital's broadband television service. ITV Local London will hand two prizes of £2,000 to the best films made through a Borough Production Fund, in an award ceremony at BAFTA in July 2008.

A panel comprising representatives from the film and TV industry will award the Jury Prize and a public vote by ITV London Tonight viewers will determine the Viewers' Prize. Any film made through a London Borough Production Fund will be eligible to enter. All shortlisted titles will be streamed on the ITV Local London website where you can now view a selection Film London-supported shorts.
