What it is

The Roll Camera! Awards are a monthly contest where you submit films you've made after playing Roll Camera! The Filmmaking Board Game, and have the chance to win prizes.

How it works

As you know, when you win a game of Roll Camera!, you will have created an actual story with the five scenes you shot. Your task now is to record and upload that film for awards consideration!

  1. Make a video taking us through the story of your finished film — it could be as simple as an entertaining reading of the cards, or as involved as a live-action recreation of your story including sound effects, music and credits. You decide!

  2. Upload your video to the appropriate "venue." On the first of each month we announce the online location of that month's awards (i.e., the Keen Bean Studio Discord, the Roll Camera BoardGameGeek forums, the Roll Camera Facebook group, etc). Entries can be submitted any time before the final day of the month. 

  3. Vote on your favorite videos. Each venue will have a different system of voting. Pick the ones you think should win!

  4. We will announce the winner! The 3 qualifying videos with the most votes by the end of the final day of the month (CST) will be the nominees, and from those we will select and announce the winner. If that's you, send us your mailing address and the shiny unique award card will be yours!* If not, don't worry...there's always next month!

*Rules and stuff

  1. DON'T USE COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL. For this entries to this contest, you DO have the right to use imagery from Roll Camera itself, but any other images, songs, sound effects, etc to which you do not own the rights will disqualify your submission.. There are lots of great sites offering royalty-free sound and music if you like, but come on, you're a filmmaker! Get creative!
  2. You can't submit the same video in multiple months. You can only submit one video per month.
  3. You don't need the physical version of Roll Camera! to participate - you can use the freely available ones on Tabletop Simulator or Tabletopia.
  4. You must have a valid mailing address in an eligible country (see the full rules and conditions below) to receive the Award card.

Full rules and conditions here. By submitting your entry to this contest you are affirming that you've read and agree to these rules and conditions.
