The judging panel included Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Barbara Trent; cinematographer Brianne Murphy; Fuji Motion Picture Products VP and general manager Hap Parker; television producer Jill Danton; and Concord Films VP Julie Corman.

The five finalists were: Karen Bartlett, Mary Beth Bresolin, Christopher C. Carson, Ted Faye and Robert Sheer.
