How firm are the parameters of the brief? E.g. Can I go over the text limit?

We do not recommend this. The parameters are in place for a reason and the judges may not consider submissions that go against the client ask

What type of images or sounds can I use in my submission?

Free and royalty free images and sounds.

If I make a mistake, can I re-submit my entry?

Yes, just refresh your browser and upload the new file using the same submission title. We’ll accept your most recent entry and discard the others.

I missed the deadline to submit. Can I just email it?

No. Each team is required to submit through the official Entry Submission Form. Late entries and entries submitted through other channels will not be accepted.

Can I switch categories during the competition?

No. All entrants must compete in the category in which they have registered. Any submissions to the categories in which the entrant has not registered will be disqualified.

Does each team member need to submit the entry?

No. Each team will submit one entry to the Entry Submission Form.

Something has come up and I won’t be able to complete the submission. Can I get a refund?

For film submissions, can I use pre-recorded footage?

No, you must create original footage.
