Please read carefully:
-See categories for specific rules.
-Scene Categories: We cannot pick a scene for you. You must indicate it to us. Although if you don't, we will.
-You may submit to multiple categories.
-Also we require you to tell us the name of the Lead Actor or Actress you submit for. We will do our best to find the name if you don't list it. In some cases, we will nominate a given lead actor or actress based on our merit, in the absence of a name.
-Before you purchase the submission, please add a quick cover letter explaining which scene you want us to look at, one scene-only (see submission categories for time limit per scene). For ex., the cover letter would read = "1:24 to 4:20: pay attn to dialogues, camera..." If you forget to add a cover letter (life happens, we know), then please add the time mark message at the very bottom of your film synopsis.
-There is no guaranteed nomination for any films/videos, even those that are audience voted. A preliminary judges selection or non selection will be applied.
-We reserve our right to remove categories from the final list of nominees if we feel the quality level is not a good fit for our festival or if not enough contestants submitted along the submissions window. There are no refunds.
-The entire film must be uploaded. Please do not upload the scene only. While we typically will not watch the whole film, if the scene is interesting and watching before or after makes sense, we will do so at our criteria.
-We reserve the right to amend rules and nominate contestants, if applicable, for other categories we see fit and not necessarily in the categories the were submitted under.
-One scene per submission (please indicate the minute mark in a message to us).
-No more than three scenes from the same film can be sent to us in the same 10-week window.
-The entire film must consist of more than 1 scene. We just need to see why the scene you point us too is award worthy. By submitting your film you agree that we can screen (in the case of screener categories) your scene at our Green Bay Gala.
-We do not pay screening fees. Submitting in a screener category does not guarantee screening. You must be nominated as a screener to screen with us.
-Some screener categories could turn into judge-only categories depending on time needs and involvement of people attending at our galas.
-Fees are not refundable.
-We reserve the right to disqualify submitters if rules are breached.
-The film review category requires a purchase. No waivers work.
-Days after the posted notification date, we will announce 5 or 6 Nominees per category. One week later we will announce nominees. The month after we will announce winners at the gala.
-See each submission categories for additional rules.
-We reserve the rights to modify these terms and conditions and to remove a given category should participation not be up to standards. If that was the case, we will move submitters to other categories.
-Submitting to more than 1 category can increase your chances of selection or nomination. While attendance to our gala events is not mandatory, it will be considered to determine some of the winners in the event of a tie in audience votes.
-No refunds.
PHOTOGRAPHY: no refunds, one photo per submission, photo must be author signed to match submitter. Cover letter should list when and where the pic was taken. We want pics taken in the past 5 years and not older. If nominated for an award, you may bring a printed photo (8 x 10 max) of your nominated photo, which we will exhibit on January 19 during awards. Working with Aloft Green Bay for the final awards event.
