Welcome to the SCA® Global Festival Network!
The Seven Continents Awards - SCA® Los Angeles is an international film festival, with red carpet, online screenings, and Q&A sessions, a monthly edition with an annual awards event in one of our associated cities.
We are looking for independent and professional projects from all genres, high, low, or no-budget ones, as well as from all countries, especially from those traditionally underrepresented in the global film industry.
Monthly competitions
- Each monthly season, the submitted projects are judged by a random team of invited experts from academia and the film industry, against a high standard of merit. The monthly award winners are considered for the annual nominations.
- The projects can be registered for each month until the deadline indicated on FilmFreeway. The film will compete in the month depending on registration.
- The results will always be announced at the end of the following month.
Every submission can add additional judging categories (via multiple submissions). The name(s) to be credited should be included in the cover letter or sent by email.
For publicity purposes, we recommend that projects must be fully entered on FilmFreeway, including film stills, production pictures, downloadable posters, and trailers or teasers.
Based on the highest rates, the pools of monthly Awards given during the annual cycle are eligible for the nominations for the annual awards. Our judges' committee can decide to nominate also other award-winning or finalist projects.
It can be given also Honorable Mentions and Outstanding Achievement Awards (special jury mentions).
Some categories or levels of awards can have no winners if no submissions meet the requirements.
The special screenings and Q&A as well as the annual awards have a different timeline that is announced through our website and social media outlets. All submitters are always kept in the loop and in advance to be able to do the preparations to attend the events.
