The purpose of the Christian Online Film Festival is to showcase Christian movies, music videos, cartoons, documentaries, educational films, music videos, soundtracks, pictures, and scripts, recognize the people who made them happen, and encourage others to make more!. We especially encourage international movies with subtitles and filmmakers who would benefit from a wider online or TV audience.

The COLFF is a unique monthly festival that takes place online at our Facebook page! You may submit your project at any time. The festival is generally held on the 3rd Saturday before 3PM EST,

If we do not consider your project in the month you submit, it will be part of next month's festival. We want to make sure that your project gets proper consideration.

Once you enter, Film Freeway will send us a notification, and we will review your work.. It's best if your Film Freeway project has a movie poster that we can use to post official selections and award winners on our Facebook page and web site. (Note: if you have never made a movie poster or music cover, AI can help you--just Google it!)

The categories you can enter to win awards are feature film (45 minutes and longer), short film (15-44 minutes), mini film (less than 15 minutes), animation/cartoon, student, advertisement, documentary, educational, music videos, songs, soundtrack/score, pictures, web series, and scripts.

We have an IMDB page for the Christian Online Film Festival! If you are a COLFF award winner you can add your award credits to your IMDB pages here is the link -

Awards & Prizes

There are two levels of recognition for your work: SELECTED and AWARD WINNER. A SELECTED designation means that your work is godly, inspiring, and promising. AWARD WINNER designation means that your work has all the qualities of an official selection at the highest level and is well executed.

Both official selections and award winners are posted to our Facebook and web pages. You may post a link to your movie or music in the comments section (some do not want links published as their work is being professionally considered).

Official selections must be void of profanity or nudity. This is a family-friendly contest, so please be sure to submit a family-friendly version of your work. No refunds will be processed as the staff must take time to review your work, though you may be allowed to modify your work and resubmit it. All decisions of the judges are final.

1. Digital Award Laurels are available for all award winners: Winners may generate their laurels on Film Freeway. We will also post to our web and Facebook page, and can tag you on Facebook if you follow our page. The categories are best feature film (45 minutes and over), best short film (15-44 minutes), best mini film (less than 15 minutes), best animated film/cartoon, student, documentary, educational, foreign film, music video, advertisement, song, soundtrack / score, script, best director, best producer, best female lead and supporting actor, best male lead and supporting actor, best teen lead and supporting actress, best teen and supporting actor, best child lead and supporting actress, best child lead and supporting actor, best soundtrack/score/song, and best web series. You are also free to post to your own IMDB page.

2. Digital Award Certificates will be emailed to all award winners

Please note that two films could have a BEST ACTRESS award, etc. We do not categorize these.

Rules & Terms

If you own or have produced a Christian movie, cartoon, script, educational film, student film, advertisement, documentary, song, soundtrack/score, or music video, and own the rights to it, you can pay the fee and enter the film festival. It can be new or old, shown or not previously shown. After your payment is processed, Film Freeway will send us a link to your work. If your entry becomes an official selection, we will post the picture to our Facebook page and web site. Similarly, award-winning selections will be announced and posted monthly, generally on the third Saturday of the month. Once you have won, please do not reenter the same project. You may, however, enter our sister festival, the Christian Film Festival, also on Film Freeway.

Entering the COLFF means you agree with the following terms: There is no guarantee of any award, and the decision of the judges is final. Some entries may be delayed to a later festival to provide sufficient time for review. If we have too many entries one month, your film or music may be moved to a later monthly festival.

Please note: the COLFF is a family-friendly festival. If there is cursing, nudity, or any material that cannot be viewed by children, your movie will not be selected. You will be informed and have the option to change curse words or remove inappropriate scenes, but your money will not be refunded as COLFF has already taken the time to review your entry.

    Great festival, I really liked the on-time notifications and awards. This is the first time writing and directing a short film. I am super stoked you like it enough to vote it Best Short Film. I will definitely be submitting future shorts here. Thank you and God Bless.
