GWAAC became among top six finalists out of 400 UK-based charities entering this year, the 6th annual Charity Film Awards has announced its finalists.

Almost 40,000 votes were cast by the public in the first round, which decided the charities that would make it through to the final. GWAAC says thank you so much to everyone who voted for Jasmine’s video.

How you can help your air ambulance charity win a Smiley Charity Film Award-

Jasmine’s video, which is in a category based on GWAAC’s annual turnover, is placed against 15 other excellent causes working with a similar budget when they made their film.

Each category has two different awards up for grabs. One is to be decided by a panel of judges and the other is settled by you, the public. Both awards include bronze and silver prizes too.

GWAAC needs your help to win the People’s Choice Award. Even if you voted for Jasmine’s video the first time around, the count has reset, and everyone needs to register a new vote for their favourite film (hopefully Jasmine’s).
