Please be sure to review ALL submission guidelines before you mail the entry. We have limited time and resources to correct application mistakes. Please try and be as accurate as possible. We will contact you by e-mail if there are any problems, so please be sure to watch for e-mails from info@nycscff.com.
We only accept online submissions either here with a FilmFreeway video or a private/password protected vimeo/YouTube link.
