The Georgia Film Critics Association (GAFCA) is an organization of professional film critics from Georgia. Inclusion is open to film critics throughout the entire state of Georgia, although the majority of members are concentrated in the Metro Atlanta area. GAFCA members represent the reviewing press through online, radio, television or print media.[1]

Overview

The Georgia Film Critics Association was founded in 2011 and is the first film critic group in the state of Georgia.[2][3] As of 2018, GAFCA comprises 26 members. Awards are given annually in 17 categories. A special award, the Oglethorpe Award for Excellence in Georgia Cinema, is bestowed upon a film or short film that was produced in Georgia. The Oglethorpe Award is credited to the winning film's director and writer.[4]

Each January, the GAFCA votes on their end of year awards for films released in the previous calendar year. Nomination ballots are typically due on the first Saturday in January with nominations announced the following Monday and winners announced that Friday.[5]
