SUBMISSIONS


 
SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN FOR 2026. 
The festival will be held on October 24th at the  Box 5 Cabaret Theatre in Hopewell, VA. 
 
Submissions receive the initial jury scorecard and judge’s notes regardless of if it is selected to be included in the festival or not!  
 

SHORT FILMS:
We want to see your best short film! It doesn’t matter if it’s your newest project or one that you did twenty years ago. We also accept films that have been released to the public. All accepted films will have their posters admitted into the Movie Poster Contest.

 

FILM TRAILERS:
Trailers for both short and feature-length films.

 

SPECIAL FILM CONTEST: "GIVE US YOUR WORST!": 
Bad short films only! You must have a sense of humor to submit a film to this category! Finalists will be asked to speak (or self-tape a video speech) about what went wrong while producing the film and what they learned from the experience.

 

SCREENPLAYS:
We accept both short and feature-length scripts. There is no “written by” date restriction. Selected screenwriters will have the opportunity to speak to the audience during our “Script Talk” block, and submit a short video about their story for our online Awards Show video.

 

HORROR ART & PHOTOGRAPHY:
We also have a special contest to celebrate artists and photographers! Accepted pieces will be shown onscreen during the Horror Art Show block of the festival. Submissions may be drawings, paintings, and photographs of three-dimensional sculptures, and creative photography. 

 

 
All rules and policies can be found on the FilmFreeway listings.
