Each year, more than 200 films participate in the APSA competition. In the past five years more than 1000 films have entered in what is widely regarded as the region’s highest accolade in film.

“The number and calibre of entries we receive each year is confirmation that APSA has been embraced by the region’s film industry. Asia Pacific filmmakers needed an award of their own, to acclaim their work and take it to a global audience,” APSA Chairman Des Power.

Official Submitting Organisations are enlisted to put forward two films to represent their country or territory. The APSA Nominations Council, APSA Chairman and Artistic Director are also empowered to invite films to ensure the broadest representation possible from the 70 countries engaged by APSA.
