The Star Wars Fan Film Awards return to San Diego Comic-Con International, with the award ceremony scheduled for Thursday night at 8:30 in Ballroom 20. You'll get to see the best of this year's competition, plus an exclusive world premiere especially for Star Wars fans.

For the fifth year, filmmaker finalists vied for recognition and prizes in the competition sponsored by Lucasfilm and Atomfilms.com.

The talented filmmaker who wins this prize will receive $2,000 in cash and a distinctive Fan Film Awards trophy. Other category winners will be awarded one of the coveted trophies, plus $1,000.

The film that receives the Audience Choice Award will have collected the highest number of votes from the fans themselves, who cast their votes at www.starwars.atomfilms.com. The winner will take home one of the Fan Film trophies and the honor of knowing that his or her film is a true crowd-pleaser.

In addition to viewing the best films of the competition, those attending the award show will see the world premiere of Volume Two of Return of Pink Five by Trey Stokes.
