Fort McMurray International Film Festival

By submitting a film, entrant hereby acknowledge they having read and understood these Official Rules and Regulations for The Fort McMurray International Film Festival.

Filmmakers hereby release the Festival, its Officers, Directors and representatives, from any and all claims rising in any way from the submission of material. Materials submitted to the YMMiFF may be used as promotional material in part or in whole for future Fort McMurray Film Festivals.

For a film to be nominated for an award, it must be both an "official entry" and an "official selection," having paid the submission fee. The term "official selection" may also refer to both Competitive and Non-Competitive films selected to play at the YMMiFF. The YMMiFF shall provide submission waivers at the sole discretion of the Organizers. Films that have been granted waivers shall be considered non-competitive entries and not eligible for award nominations.

The YMMiFF shall make a best effort to screen selected films in the intended "Screener" format in their entirety but are not responsible for corrupted source files or issues arising from a film not provided to The YMMiFF in the outlined recommended Screener format/encoding.

Filmmakers may submit "Work in progress" versions of their films for consideration. If a "Work in progress" film is selected, the filmmaker must provide a "Final Version" of their film prior to The YMMiFF assigned deadline to become an "Official Selection". The YMMiFF reserves the right to disqualify a film if the "Final Version" differs too greatly from the "Work in progress" at their sole discretion.
