CONFIRMATION

Please enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard if you wish to receive confirmation that your entry has been received. Please do not ask for delivery confirmation, as it creates more work for our poor mail carrier! Feel free to email us at docufest@gmail.com if you would like confirmation of delivery.

SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION

Programming decisions are made by the festival directors and our selection committee. If accepted, we will notify filmmakers by email. After acceptance, the presentational format will need to be in our office two weeks before the festival. Be sure to indicate aspect ratio of your film/video as well as any other special screening/presentation information we might need to know. We do not pay rental fees for submitted work that is programmed.

AWARDS

Although the art of filmmaking is not competitive, Festival League does give awards to films selected as best in these categories: Best Documentary Feature and Short, Best Director, Best International Doc, etc. View the awards page.

RETURN OF ENTRY MATERIALS

Due to the large number of entries received submission materials and videos will not be returned. For specific requests, please contact us.
