Short of the Week presents The Great Film Competition!

We are on a quest to find great short films. If you’ve made a great film—Submit your film! If you have a film that’s done well in the festivals, and you’re looking for a way to get it online—Submit your film!

The Prize

Short of the Week curators will collectively select 1 winning film. The winner will receive our Short of the Week Presents package*. This means your film will be featured here front and center on Short of the Week for a full week. But even more importantly, you will receive a free promotional package where we will actively plan the online launch of your film and spread word to our network of media and industry. We did it with The Thomas Beale Cipher which earned 170,000+ views on Vimeo and articles in Wired, Fast Company, and Motionographer.

Everyone’s a winner

Tired of submitting to festivals and never hearing anything back? We were! So no more! Every film submitted to The Great Film Competition will receive feedback from a Short of the Week curator. We watch thousands of short films every year and can offer you valuable advice about what’s working and what’s not. Take this opportunity to get honest feedback about your work.

Rules

  1. Must have been completed after January 1, 2010
  2. Must be an online premiere **
  3. One submission per person (choose your best!)
 

Submit

Submissions for the competition are now closed. Please visit our Submit page for details on how to send us your film. Be sure to include your:
  • Film Title
  • Short Synopsis
  • Private Link & Password (ex: Vimeo: Password-Protected, YouTube: Private or Unlisted, or Download link—Need help?).

DETAILS * For our Short of the Week Presents program, we ask that you place a 5-second bumper provided by Short of the Week at the beginning of your short film before its online premiere. That’s all we ask. There’s no exclusivity. It’s your film, and you’re free to share the film with any other distributors you wish. We will coordinate with you as to when and how to publish your film. ** Films that are or have previously been accessible to the online public will not be considered for this competition.   *** This competition is guaranteed to be the most excellent short film competition in the history of all humanity.
