2006 Award Winners
PTFF
began awarding cash prizes to films submitted in the festival's
competitive program in 2004 thanks to a generous contribution by the
Port Townsend Paper Corporation. In 2006 Alpha Cine Forde Labs became another honored donor.
The judges of the Port Townsend Film Festival announced their top four picks for best in show at a Gala Champagne Breakfast Sunday morning September 17, 2006. While the festival strives for quality in every film, the awards were given to select features that stood out in their field.

The awards for these prizes are gift certificates for services at the world-renown Alpha Cine Forde Labs.
- Jury Prize $2,000 - "Say I Do" the first feature directed by Ron Vignone
- Audience Favorite $2,000 - "Independent America" the documentary directed by Hanson Hosein
