9. By entering Drunken Film Fest Oakland, you give the organizers of the festival permission to screen your film and to use any promotional stills or descriptions for festival advertising.

10. Despite our name and venues, a film about beer / bars / drinking etc. has no better chance of being programmed than any other kind of film.

11. No need to enter in multiple categories, if your film has crossover (i.e. an animated documentary, or an avant-garde animation), it will be included in each relevant competition.

12. If you are a Bay Area filmmaker just enter the local category, it's cheaper! Per the above, you will still be entered in the competition relevant to your film (i.e. Local & US Narrative). If you're finding yourself unable to submit in the local category, that's because it requires that you have your town's name in your film's submission profile.
