OUR
STORY
In December 2013, 12 film critics from the Delmarva peninsula and the mainland of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia joined together for the first time. This eclectic mix included professional reviewers from newspapers and magazines like The Virginia Pilot, What's Up? Annapolis, and Chesapeake. While it was the inaugural meeting, it had been long overdue. During our inaugural year, we released a 'best of' list, that has officially transitioned into an official awards body.

Winners of this year's Delmarva Film Critics Association Awards will be announced December 10, 2019.
