The GLFF Short Film Competition welcomes short, live action or animated films, with any content and in any style. The rules for the competition are as follows:
1. Entry is $10 (free for students) before July 31st, 2019, and is open to all countries and counties.
2. Categories are currently listed as Student and Adult (18+).
3. The Student category is open to full-time students only, resident anywhere in the world. The qualifying film must have been created while the film’s director or directors were enrolled full-time at a school, college, or university. Proof of enrollment, such as a copy of a student I.D., must be included with the submission. If the director is not enrolled at the time of submission, or has graduated, proof of past enrollment during 2018-2019 must be submitted.
4. If the film is not in English, make sure to include English subtitles.
5. Ensure that you own all the content in your film (footage, music, visuals, props, etc.)
6. If any copyrighted content is used, you must provide written permission for its use. Entries containing any unauthorized content will be disqualified.
7. Screening files must be made available via FilmFreeway, must be posted by close of entries: July 31st @ 11:59 PM. The submitter must ensure that the film is accessible to 2019 GLFF SFC by the deadline. All entries must be accompanied by a completed submission form. Once a film is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn from competition. No submission materials will be returned.
8. We prefer films which do not exceed 15 minutes, including front and back credits.
9. Required for publicity materials: director photo & bio and a film poster or still, all in high resolution.
Other materials are not required for submission (scripts, production photos, etc.).
10. 2019 GLFF Short Film Competition is open-minded but does not program porn or gratuitous violence. GLFF SFC seldom programs films that would receive an 18A or R rating if shown in a regular theatre. Submissions that fit this description may be disqualified.

12. If you become a Finalist, you will be contacted within further instructions.

By submitting to the 2019 GLFF Short Film Competition, the submitter expressly acknowledges that he or she owns all the rights to the film and grants nonexclusive media rights howsoever transmitted for the 2019 GLFF Short Film Competition to show the film to public audiences and for use of aspects of the film in the festival's promotional material.
