FILM SUBMISSION TIPS

FIRST…
When you are ready to submit your film, Put it on a Thumb Drive, and deliver it to the designated drop off location at the deadline.

SECOND….
Upload your film to YOUTUBE. Set it to “ALLOW EMBEDDING”, and “UNLISTED” (Not visible on YouTube!) You will grab the share URL and SAVE it. You will need that URL to add to your Submission Form, in the “LINK TO FILM” field. (The URL looks like this: http://youtu.be/VMlYdy9sSWU )

THIRD…
Access the Submission Form, under the menu “filmmaker area”. Take your time and complete this form, accurately, and completely.

FOURTH…
Ensure you carefully complete the submission form. It is directly sent to the judges, to view your film. The fields that ask for your lead actors, director, etc, are meant for ONLY ONE PERSON. These fields allow the judges to score your film properly. If you cram more than one person any of these fields, the judges will NOT score that category. So, there is ONE person eligible for each award. If two people did the job, choose one.

FIFTH…
There is a field on the submission form to add ONE Poster / DVD cover / Screen grab / etc. The field name is “FILM IMAGE” Please make sure the image file is small; 500 pixels wide maximum around 200kb file size maximum.

SIXTH…
