Winners tallied from online voting.

December 10, 2016 (Boston, MA) -The Boston Online Film Critics Association have chosen their winners for 2016. Awards were selected via a system of online voting and announced on their website at www.bofca.com.

After weeks of discussion in our new online forum, ballots were submitted electronically.

Next week, BOFCA will publish their membership’s individual ballots at www.bofca.com for readers interested in how final decisions were made. A podcast featuring members discussing their choices and the year in film will follow.

Founded in May 2012, the growing membership of BOFCA fosters a community of web-based film critics. It provides a supportive group of colleagues as well a professional platform for their voices to be heard. Each week they collect and circulate links to their reviews at their website. The site also promotes film in Boston through a monthly podcast. BOFCA presents its members’ film articles and essays throughout the year on its own website and via social media on Twitter and Facebook.

By widening professional membership to writers working in new media, BOFCA aims to encourage more diversity in the field and amplify their voices.
