Welcome to Indie Shorts Awards NEW YORK
Indie Shorts Awards New York is an international independent short film competition. Our goal is to find talented filmmakers and help them promote their work.
As a recognition for creativity we will award once a year the “Best Short of the Year” with a cash prize of USD 3500.
New York, the city that never sleeps, is a hotbed for filmmakers who want to skirt the big motion picture studios—after all, it's the birthplace of independent film.
Being a thriving film hub, the city plays host to hundreds of filmmakers, industry professionals and movie lovers annually.
As it's said, if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere.
Your film will be reviewed by our screener team and the highest scored ones will be selected as Official Selection receiving corresponding Laurels. Then, winners will be chosen by our international jury and receive Official Laurels and Certificates.
All award-winning films will be screened in our public and complementary Events where you will have the opportunity to network with filmmakers and people from the industry.
