The call for entries for the 2013 PUMA Impact Award is now open. Over the past few years the awards have gathered success through the submission of high profile documentaries such as Budrus, Gasland and The End of the Line.
The PUMA Impact Award is an annual prize honouring the best in documentary film making. The 50,000 Euro award, given to one documentary that has made the greatest social or environmental impact, acknowledges the film’s makers and also helps the continuation of the film’s campaigning work.
Anyone can put a film forward from any country and films can be put forward any time up to three years after release.
Channel4′s BRITDOC, the organisation behind the awards welcomes independent creative documentary films on any subject, from social justice issues to the environment. The submitted documentaries can be in any form, from expository to observational.
In order to be considered for the award, each film making team must submit data demonstrating evidence of the film’s social impact, for example:
• How a film demonstrably changed public awareness of a given issue
• Influenced corporate policy on sustainability or workplace issues
• Impacted lawmakers & politicians triggering reviews or inquiries
• Affected consumer purchasing or voting decisions
• How the film helped build capacity or raised funds for campaign organisations and other partners

Submissions close on 20 May at 4pm UK time.
