The categories for which trophies will be awarded are for Best Narrative Feature, Best Documentary Feature, Best Short Film and Best Short Documentary and Best Animation. A new category introduced this year is the Best TV Dramatic film which is opened to Belize and the rest of the Caribbean as well as the Youth Audience Award. There are also several areas which are exclusive to Belizeans – those are Best Video for Sensational Belize 2015, Most Notable Belizean Film and Best Music Video. Thirty-five submissions were made by Belizean artists in the Best Music Video category and fifteen were selected that will be aired during the festival. Among the list of artists are Tanya Carter, Ernestine Carballo, Ras Indio, TR Shine, Nello Player and Supa G.
