Williamsburg International Film & Music Competition ()

映画祭の開始: 14 9月 2019      映画祭の終了: 14 9月 2019

The Williamsburg International Film Festival is now the Williamsburg International Film & Music Competition, an online-only, eighteen category competition. We will not be screening films this year.

Gain more acceptances into festivals by promoting your project as a winner in our competition. Our festival was one of Moviemaker magazine's top 5 film festivals and we will now bring that experience and professionalism to our competition.

OUR ENTRY FEES ARE NOW SOME OF THE LOWEST IN THE INDUSTRY.

Many of the award-winning films in our past competitions have gone on to have theatrical releases, broadcasts on PBS and other media outlets, and to be nominated and awarded at the American Academy Awards.

The winning projects are announced on Saturday, September 14, 2019 on our website.

Winners receive beautiful certificates and WINNER or RUNNER-UP laurels for promotional purposes.

Winning projects will be featured permanently on our newly designed website and promoted through our social media platforms.

Top Category Winners are included in a press release sent to over 2000 media outlets worldwide.

The winning projects will be announced on Saturday, September 14, 2019 on our website. No one will be notified before that date.

On Monday, September 16th, submitters will have their judging status updated on festhome. Individual emails or letters will not be sent out so please check with festhome or our website for competition outcomes.

We are happy to accept your online entry. We do not accept any entry by mail or in any form of media.

Foreign language work must be subtitled in English. Competitions no longer have a completion date so somewhat older projects that didn't get the merit you thought it deserved can still be entered.
