The Belated Official Call For Entries
It's time to send those extraordinary mind visions in!
Anyone can enter and there's NO ENTRY FEE! Can you believe that? We must be crazy or socialists or nice or ...I dunno... just FAIR(ish).
Doesn't matter whether you're a student, indie, or non-indie. We're looking for narrative shorts, music videos, commercials, TV stuff, video games, features, non-figurative abstract mood disorder infestations...it can be paper, paint, cut, clay, fur, puppet, marker, knife, computer, cardboard, candy, scratch, marker, chalk, blood, pencil, crayon, tea leaves, coffee beans, chips, dip, fruit, body, squirrel etc... if it's animated and awesome, just send the damn thing! Not awesome films are welcome too! We love everyone. EVERYone! Even you.*
*Do not send live action films showing your man or woman things. This is not the right place for that. **
** This is the right place for that. ***
*** "NO IT'S NOT," says a voice more powerful than my own.
Entry forms must be submitted online by May 17th, and preview DVDs are due by May 31st.
