Join us for the 4th annual Daybreak Film Festival! We are looking for creators of all backgrounds and experience to share their talents with us.
Submission window: May 1- August 28
Notification Date: October 1
Festival Date: November 11
We will email PDF certificates stating participation in the film festival to the primary contact for each film shown at the festival.
Winners are selected from each category and are the top scores within those categories. Winners who choose to attend the film festival in person will receive an award for each winning film. Awards will be available for pickup for five business days after the festival. Categories will be determined after submission to allow fair comparison that accounts for age and experience.
In each category, the film with the highest score will be the winner. Winners who choose to attend the film festival will receive their award on the day of the festival. Awards will be available for pickup five business days after the festival for those winners who do not attend.
Categories will be determined after the submission deadline and announced a week before the start of the festival.
If enough submissions are received, we may also provide certificates or awards for winners within film categories. Screeners select the film’s category after your submission. Potential award categories are: Best Animated Film, Best Documentary, Best Music Video, Best First Time Filmmaker, Best of Daybreak, Best Narrative, and Audience Choice. These categories are entirely dependent on submissions received. No accolades are guaranteed.
