- MAIN COMPETITION SECTION -
Whenever you submit a short film under a specific category this short will be in the competition with other short films from the same category. If your short film is a Drama, you must submit via "Drama Short" category and your short will be competing for "Best Drama Short" award.
- FILM CRAFT AWARD SECTION -
You can submit to compete for a Film Craft Award. You just have to submit your short film via "Film Craft Award" category.
