Can I use YouTube?
Yes. An Unlisted YouTube link is a practical screening option. Anyone with the link can watch it, so filmmakers should share the screening link only as intended.
Can I use Google Drive?
Yes. A Drive viewing link can be provided through the submission form. Make sure the festival team has permission to view the file.
What is competitive?
The Best Film $1,000 competition is for short films. Other formats can be selected and recognized, but are not part of the Best Film cash competition.
