THE NON-ELITIST MOVIE CELEBRATION THAT WELCOMES ALL FILM AND TV PROJECTS FROM ALL FILM AND TV GENRES...

WE ARE NON-ELITIST AND NON-POLITICAL, AND WELCOME ENTRIES FROM ALL FILM AND TV PROJECTS, FROM ALL FILM AND TV GENRES AROUND THE GLOBE.

WHY CHOOSE US?

There are many perks to submitting your project to the 'Phoenix Entertainment Awards', which include: -

A guarantee that your project will be viewed and judged by an international panel of industry professionals from the world of film and television, from both in front and behind the camera, with a wealth of connections to numerous main-stream television networks, distributors and media outlets.

Automatic selection for all complete submissions.

The potential for publicity through interviews on established genre-specific YouTube channels and podcasts.

The potential for reviews to be published in a range of media forms with a range of media outlets, including magazines, online, and in British national newspapers.

A non-elitist approach which welcomes all filmmakers and films.

Discount on submission for FilmFreeway Gold members.

The creators of the most exceptional submissions may be invited to join the judging panel for the next season of the festival, offering a potential opportunity to gain experience behind the scenes of the judging process and live film screenings.

A great opportunity to have your project catch the eyes of international distributors.

Awards & Prizes

It is a multi-level award festival with opportunities to receive award laurels and trophies for OFFICIAL SELECTION, HONORABLE MENTION, BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, and PLATINUM awards in each category.

This means that multiple awards can be issued at any given level in any given category, and therefore, filmmakers are not competing over a single award.

Rules & Terms

Entrants are responsible for ensuring that any material submitted is appropriately licensed for use and public screening.

All films submitted must be in English or have English subtitles included.

Films submitted must have been completed after 1st January 2016 (unless special permissions are sought from the festival organisers), and must also be delivered in HD.

We will accept links to online versions of your film. You may enter a password protected link for Vimeo, or an unlisted/private link for YouTube when completing the submission form via FilmFreeway. Links must remain active for the duration of the festival.

All entrants must consent to having their work downloaded.

All films which are officially selected will be scored by the judging panel, but not all selections are guaranteed to be screened at the live event.

We reserve the right to disqualify a submission, without refund of any kind, if eligibility requirements are not met including if eligibility status changes post-submission.

SUBMISSION CHECKLIST: -

Completed submission form, submitted electronically via FilmFreeway.

For best chance of selection entrants should aim to include a poster for their film, an electronic press kit, and a trailer (where possible); as well as a link to a secured online screener for your film that is accessible for the duration of the festival.

Ensure that entry fees are paid; these are non-refundable.

    BS.E. Production's would like to take the time and thank Phoenix Entertainment Awards for recognizing the documentary film as "Honorable Mention".
    We would also like to express that we were honored to be able to have our story make an impact/impression on those that needed it the most. A great film festival to work with.

    We are honored and thrilled to receive a Silver Trophy Award from Phoenix Entertainment for our feature screenplay, Cloud Zero. Their prompt reading of our script and this wonderful recognition brought us great joy. As we plan to film Cloud Zero in nearby New Mexico and Los Angeles, this acknowledgment feels especially meaningful to our team, given Phoenix Entertainment’s connection to the Southwest.

    Thank you!
