CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 1st, 2013

Send us your short features, animations, trash movies, documentaries, and music videos. We bring everything on screen that is freaky, crafty, slick, hard-boiled, and witty! Everything is allowed - as long as it's short and cheap!

As a short film festival for low & no budget productions, ClipAward explicitly addresses independent filmmakers who make films without big money.

• The clips may not be realized within the scope of film studies (e.g., seminar work).
  This, however, does not mean that film and media students are generally excluded from participation. You may apply with movies that were realized in your leisure time.
• The production costs may not exceed 500 Euro per minute
• The maximum length is 15 minutes
• The submission is limited to max. 2 clips per applicant
• The screening copy must be a DVD or a digital video file
  Please, do not send any vimeo/youtube links but files in screening quality that are downloadable (please, provide the password, if needed). Due to technical reasons, we accept only MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 or H.264-codes files in the formats .VOB, .MOV, .MP4, .M4V.  Max. Resolution is 1280 x 720; no Full-HD.
• The shorts have to be subtitled in German or English.

Thank you, we' re looking forward to your SHORTS! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
