By entering the contest you are stating that you are, or have the permission of, the submission’s copyright holder. If you are not the sole creator of the submission or any of its elements then you must first obtain permission from all rights holders of the creative property before submitting it to our festival. Additionally, by entering the contest you are giving the Boomtown Film & Music Festival permission to exhibit your work publicly as part of our festival.

Entries need to be English language or include English subtitles. Screenplay submissions must be written in English.

Our policy is to only accept works that were completed no earlier than two years prior to the event date. However, if there are extenuating circumstances we may consider accepting older projects.

Entrants may submit multiple works, and may submit the same work into multiple categories if it meets all category criteria.

For the convenience of all parties, Boomtown asks that film entries to be delivered electronically using common file formats (such as .mp4, .avi, .mov, .wmv, .flv, etc.). High definition (1080p) video files are strongly encouraged. We ask that file sizes be kept below 15 gigabytes.

We welcome EPKs (electronic press kits), production stills and other types of marketing materials that we could use to promote your entry.

We have early bird, normal and late submission deadlines. Late entries will be accepted, but we can only guarantee judging if your film is received before December 2, 2024.
