Welcome to the first Bloody Flicks Awards!
We're looking for the best and brightest in independent horror and cult cinema to submit your films and short stories.

We value creativity most of all, so scare, gross us out and shock us!

We have 7 awards on offer, the only ruls we have are that your submission is the film needs to be 30 minutes or under and your short story must be less than 30,000 words.
Please note this is an online Film Festival with winners received their awards post-announcements.
