Here are the key eligibility criteria for the CongoFilmz Awards:

​

  1. Release Dates: Films must have been accessible to the public for the first time between January 1, 2022, and September 24, 2024. An exception is granted for Non-French Language films (NFLF) and documentaries, which are eligible if they were made available to the public between January 1, 2022, and September 30, 2024.
