APSA film submissions officially closed on July 31, with an overwhelming number of entries recorded. More than 240 films from 38 Asia Pacific countries have been entered into competition, marking the 2012 APSAs as the strongest year for entries to date.
The nominees from each of the nine categories will be announced in October. Three film categories including Best Children’s Feature Film, Best Animated Feature Film and Best Documentary Feature Film will be judged by Academy members using the APSA View online viewing and voting system from August 31.
