Submission FAQs

• To give an example of what can and can not be submitted:

If the film is directed by a man and produced by a woman, then the film is eligible in the producing category but will not be considered in the directing category.

If the film is being entered into a category where the entrant shares a credit with a male, it is not eligible, e.g. it is written by a male and a female.

Only the XX Award can be entered by both male and female directors.

• Please let us know who on your crew is female so we can consider everyone that is eligible for an award. You do not have to pay the submission fee for each category entered, just once for the film. You can pay for your submission here.
