The three day event culminated Sunday evening with strong voter appreciation and activity. The community of Roanoke warmly embraced this new event to the local GLBT Community with steady attendance, positive feedback, and many welcoming sentiments to festival organizer Len Rogers of StoneWall Society. Shadowbox, the venue was a great fit for the Festival. Jason and his staff were more then professional and made all feel welcome. 

The Festival Favorites were announced at the closing screening on Sunday night. Favorites were determined solely by attendee vote. Each festival attendee was provided with a ballot for that particular screening. Each ballot had to be validated with the attendee ticket number to be counted. It was encouraging to see how serious the festival goers were about completing and turning in their ballots. A true testament to the films included and the serious view these festival attendees had of their part in the festival. 

The final votes determined in some relatively close counts that Festival Favorites are;

Festival Favorite Short Film is "Reunion" by Dennis Hensley

Festival Favorite Music Video is "Living Out Proud" by SUGARBEACH of Canada

Festival Favorite Feature Film is "Woman In A Man's Suit" by Anthony Greene about Georgie Jessup. 

Congratulations to the festival favorites! As well congratulations and thanks to all who submitted and attended the festival. Response to the festival was so overwhelming positive that is has already been decided this will be an annual event. In depth coverage with photographs will be available at www.prideinthearts.com on later Monday.
