Правила и условия

FILM CONTEST REQUIREMENTS:

The horror film contest leans on the cinematic and interpretive elements that support the expansion of the genre. The purpose of this category is to provide a platform where all horror filmmakers can gain exposure for their creepy creative contributions among the international horror community. 

1. Films must have been completed after January 1, 2010 and must be submitted by the film director and or whom has ownership rights for the film.
2. Each film submission must be accompanied with a press kit. This includes your biography and profile picture, your film trailer and or behind the scenes video via link to YouTube or Vimeo, your project poster, and any production pictures you would like to add.
3. All films must meet their film length parameters for each category and be either subtitled or dubbed in English. List of categories and film length parameters are as follows:

• Micro Short (2-5 minutes)​
• Standard Short (5-20 minutes)
• Extended Short (20-40 minutes)
• Feature (40-90 minutes)

​SCREENPLAY CONTEST REQUIREMENTS:

The horror screenplay contest leans on the use of specific writing skills that supports the expansion of the genre through film. The purpose of this category is to provide a platform where all horror screenwriters can gain exposure for their creepy creative contributions to the international horror community.

1. You must be the original screenwriter on the project to upload the screenplay. Any unauthorized use of another's work is considered both plagiarism and copyright infringement. 
2. Submissions should be short-script screenplays (3-40 pages) written for short film, or for feature-script screenplays (40+ pages). As a rule of thumb, each page of a screenplays equals 1 minute of screen time. Short-script and feature-script will be submitted to the same category, however judged separately. 
3. Submissions must be accompanied with a screenplay cover to be presented in lieu of their screenplay script if chosen as an official selection or CTEA recipient. Due to the sensitivity of the screenplay pursuit, full screenplay scripts will not be presented on our website. This protects your screenplay and allows you to preserve your right to produce it later without spoilers.
4. All scripts must be submitted in PDF format and transcribed in English.
