Why separate categories for Fantasy and Historical? Are they judged differently? I know this was done at WE as well. I just wonder what he rationale is.

What I am trying to understand is the rationale with dividing up movie characters (i.e. humans V creatures) from th same movie.

sometimes we need a division line... and sometime we have to decide where to put it.
In this case we decided to use the Mother Nature as limit.
Obviously there are some subject at the limit ( Captains Stock, Legolas) but is quite easy to understand where the limit is.

Le Petit soldat has decided years ago to have special fantasy categories, quantity of the display justify the choice and I’ve to say that today is a concept that has worked well.
Fantasy and historical has obviously different point of view and judgement is slightly different. Are not comparable, we don’t judge them together ( any category won’t be judged from more than a team of judges).

hoping to see you there, regards
