No cash or monetary prizes
Laurels will be awarded for screened films.
Please check your submission status in FilmFreeway to see if your film was accepted (selected). If you do not receive a notification that your film was selected before the event date, it means it was not selected.
Please forgive us if your film is not selected. We receive many hundreds of submissions, and even some of the better (or best) films don't make it because of time constraints. If your film isn't selected during one festival, please consider resubmitting it (or another of your films) for one of our future festivals. We want to see your great work.
Also, Please Note:
Some films may be selected for category recognition purposes but not screened. The term "Selected" does not necessarily mean that your film will be screened.
