There is no fee for submitting a film, but we do ask that filmmakers purchase their own tickets to the event.

If you're not able to attend, you can still submit. We'll show your film if we don't get enough entries from filmmakers who are able to attend. However, if you or a representative can't be there, you will not be eligible to win and the red light will stay on for the entirety of the film.

If we receive more than enough entries, precedence is first given to filmmakers who can attend, and then to filmmakers newest to the competition.

If a film was gonged at a previous competition, filmmakers are invited to re-work it and try it out on the audience again. Substantial edits required.
