KingBonn Award (Chinese: 金鹏奖) of China International New Media Short Film Festival[1] is the only state-recognized international short film award in China, which is comprised by Main Competition Section and Internet Voting Section. As one of the principal activities in the festival, creators of short films from home and abroad come to participate in the competition. Domestic and international cinema professionals, scholars, and noted directors participate in the panel to review the candidate's shorts. They select ones to reward in form of bonuses, with the goal of encouraging the production of outstanding new media shorts, and of discovering and supporting talents.
