Diamond Award means... 
​There are no specific criteria for Diamonds. The judges select the eight best films in the competition.
Clearly each rating will inevitably cover a range of attainment levels, and will be subjective to some degree; film is a work of art not science.
Please also be aware that the general standard of films drifts over time.
