The DVD Association (DVDA) announced that the deadline for submissions to its DVD competition, the DVDA Brilliance Awards, has been extended from October 2 to October 9th. The DVDA Brilliance Awards honor skill, creativity, and craftsmanship in various aspects of DVD production and authoring. The awards compliment the DVDA Excellence Awards program. Like the Excellence Awards, the new Brilliance Awards will be judged exclusively by peers; but unlike the Excellence Awards, the Brilliance Awards are a global competition.

Each DVD entered in a category will compete directly against others in the one of six categories An independent panel of judges assigns each entry a score of up to 100 points. A preliminary jury will pick the top three DVDs in each category and advance these to the International Brilliance Jury. The members of this Jury will be posted on www.dvda.org. This International Brilliance Jury will then view all the finalists and pick a winner in each category that will be announced at the ceremony. In addition, the International Brilliance Jury may designate a Grand Prize for the top DVD entered in all categories.

DVDA Brilliance Award Categories include:
• Children's DVD Brilliance
• Theatrical Film DVD Brilliance
• Music DVD Brilliance
• TV Series DVD Brilliance
• Game DVD-Video Brilliance
• Education, Marketing, Kiosk DVD Brilliance

Any DVD author, producer or studio is eligible to enter a DVD title for consideration. DVDA members receive a discount on entry fees, and non-members who wish to join and pay the $100 DVDA membership fee will receive a $50 discount on each entry.

The inaugural presentation of the DVDA Brilliance Awards will occur at Digital Hollywood in London, on Nov 30th.
