How does the online submissions system work?
Filmmakers discover festivals through the Withoutabox Search Engine, weekly Festival Update and Spotlight E-mails, or are referred from festivals’ own Websites. The service is entirely free to filmmakers, save for any entry fees the festival may require. Filmmakers apply via an online entry form, and pay any applicable entry fees securely online. Using Withoutabox’s online suite of management tools, festival staff track incoming submission materials and fees via the Withoutabox Festival dashboard, which in turn conveniently notifies filmmakers that their materials have been received. All data can be exported as needed for use in festivals’ own custom applications and databases.
