Ideally, we would like you to enter as soon as you can so we may know how many judges and type of filmmaker to activate for the judging times. (We do not use the same judges for all entries as do other awards companies.) Specialty judges are aligned to specific categories/types of films so we are coordinating as much as we can prior to the deadline.

Please, do not wait until the latest deadline date if you can. Price remains the same for all entry times. You may enter and then create a Payment Request for payment later, if needed, but don't forget to pay before the deadline or you will miss this window.
