CAMIES are beautiful solid bronze castings of an original sculpture representing CHARACTER AND MORALITY IN ENTERTAINMENT.

CAMIES are awarded for entertaining and uplifting motion pictures that provide positive role models for building character, overcoming adversity, correcting unwise choices, strengthening families, living moral lives, and solving life’s problems with integrity and perseverance—realizing some lessons of life come with pain and sorrow.

Motion pictures considered for CAMIES are presented with sensitivity and without gratuitous violence, sex scenes (even if brief or simulated), or implications that non-married sex is acceptable. Respectable language and modesty are strongly encouraged.

Individual CAMIES are presented to those principally responsible for creating each CAMIE film, which may include producers, directors, writers, and leading actors.
