The awards bring together the most outstanding fulldome films from various festivals, celebrating the beauty and creativity of the medium.

"As the media evolves in exciting directions, the nominated films I was trusted to experience as a jury member demonstrate that the dome is foremost democratic, as different audiences can encounter works corresponding to their interests," commented Best of Earth 2023 judge Pedro Rodolpho Ramos. "The selection showcases that creators are confident about exploring new ways of interpreting the dome space in terms of narrative, production techniques, artistic experimentation, and beyond."

Reflecting on this year's nominees, fellow Best of Earth 2023 judge Matt Wright commented, "It's hugely rewarding to see the medium blossoming with so much technical innovation combining with deeper and more complex narratives being explored. The industry finally seems to be opening up, and the quality of entrants this year was incredibly hard to select between."

"We are thrilled to be a part of the 2023 Best of Earth Awards!" says Micky Remann, Director of Fulldome Festival Jena. "Like our partner festivals from around the world, we are dedicated to showcasing culturally significant and inspiring films that challenge our perceptions of the world around us."

"It's an honor to have our festival amongst such a diverse group of voices and experiences in the film industry," says Warik Lawrance, Director of Dome Under Film Festival. "We believe that recognition of these perspectives is essential in promoting growth and understanding. Here's to celebrating the best and brightest in the years to come!"
