How many films can I enter?
There is no limit to the number of videos that you can submit. However, it is unlikely that more than one film from the same filmmaker would be selected, so please choose your best work.
Is it okay if an adult helped me direct or edit the film?
It's okay if you had help from some one over age 20, as long as the majority of the creative and artistic direction and production was by youth.
Can I use some one else's music in the video?
Yes, but only if you have permission from the artist that created the music. As well as crediting the musician at the end of your film, please include the permission from the artist with your submission.
