Can I include laurels (film festival selections/awards) on my film's thumbnail image?

Modified on Thu, 3 Jul at 9:51 AM

No, Reveel does not accept or permit the inclusion of laurels, film festival selections, award badges, or any similar accolades directly on your film's thumbnail image. Submissions with laurels on the thumbnail will be rejected and will need to be re-uploaded without them.


There are several key reasons for this policy:

  • Clean and Professional Aesthetic: We aim for a consistent, clean, and professional look across all film thumbnails on the Reveel platform. Laurels can clutter the image and detract from the primary visual representation of your film.

  • Focus on the Film's Content: The thumbnail is intended to be a visual hook that represents the essence of your film's story, genre, or key imagery. Laurels shift the focus away from the film's artistic presentation to its accolades.

  • Fairness and Equal Opportunity: This policy ensures a level playing field for all filmmakers. While we celebrate achievements, the thumbnail should allow the film itself to stand out, regardless of its festival history.

  • Promotion Best Practices: While laurels are valuable, they are best utilized in other designated areas where they can be properly highlighted without compromising the primary visual asset.
