RULES, REGULATIONS, ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS,
AND ENTRY FORM GUIDELINES

The applicant must be over 18 years of age.

Currently entries will not be judged on a particular genre (category). Entries will be judged against each other, no matter the category. It is still requested that the applicant indicate a category on the entry form.

"NOTE: Profanity, sexual content and derogatory language towards any ethnic group is prohibited."

Each applicant may submit no more than two (2) works. There is no restriction on when the film or video was completed.

Entries submitted in prior years may not be submitted again for consideration and will be disqualified.

By signing the entry form, the applicant (a) certifies that the exhibition of the submitted entry will in no way violate any copyright laws or any other rights of any person, film, or corporation and (b) accepts all responsibility relating to - and indemnifies and holds harmless AmateurFilmContests.com and its representatives from any and all disputes and liabilities arising from any such claims by a third party.

The applicant must have prime artistic responsibility for the film or video submitted. Roles considered to have prime artistic responsibility are director, producer, writer, or editor.

Although any shooting format may have been used to produce the original film or video, the only acceptable submission format for consideration is a VHS videotape or MiniDV tape. Do not send original prints, stills, or other materials related to the entry. AmateurFilmContests.com will not be responsible for damage to videos resulting from shipping, handling, judging, or screening.

If an applicant wishes to have a video returned after the competition, a self-addressed, stamped envelope (sufficient to ship a VHS or DVD video) must be included with the entry; otherwise, the video will not be kept. In the alternative, the applicant may include an additional $5.00 (over and above the entry fee) for each video requesting to be returned.

Entries will be judged by AmateurFilmContests.com staff. Entries will be judged on originality, creativity, and completion of thought. A $1000.00 cash award for the First (1st) place entry that represents an overall outstanding achievement. A MiniDV Camcorder for Second (2nd) place and a video editing software package for Third (3rd) place. The decision of the judge(s) is final.

The entry fee for each video submission is Twenty Dollars ($20.00) and must accompany the entry form. Do not send cash. Fees may be sent by money order or personal check and be made payable to Virtual Vision Inc.

You have the option of paying your entry fee with a credit card.
