The Short Film Awards is an international awards organization. We accept short film submissions from all around the world.
The Short Film Awards, affectionately named "The SOFIES", was born out of a love for the special art form known as the Short Film. Due to its briefness, the short film fosters an unmatched spirit of creativity, resourcefulness and independence that inspires, stirs and transforms.
The Short Film Awards promote and extol the short film as an important and unique art form and outlet for social commentary.
The Short Film Awards shine the spotlight on the best and brightest in short film and bestow the beautiful and coveted SOFIE award upon the winners.
We honor the giants of short film, the best producers, directors, writers, actors, cinematographers, sound engineers, stylists and other creators of short films.
The Short Film Awards Foundation is an officially approved 501(c)3, nonprofit organization.
All SOFIE Award Nominees receive an official golden nominee medal on a ribbon to wear or display!
The winner in each category receives the prestigious and beautiful SOFIE award.
Also, all SOFIE Award nominees and winning short films, that are listed on IMDB, will be added to The Short Film Awards IMDB event page.
The Short Film Awards offer the opportunity to earn the respect of peers and industry decision makers. Submitting your film places your work before top professionals.
Winning a SOFIE award is a great honor that increases global awareness of your work and could result in increased opportunities.
