Why are the writers expected to pay a CAD $25 fee?
We are extremely grateful to our sponsors for their in-kind support but as generous as their sponsorship is, the competition has considerable administration costs which have to be met, separately from any of the film production budget(s). Having said that, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce the cost of submission. As soon as we can, we will do so. It is also worth noting that there are several discount codes floating around out there that can be applied to reduce the fee for entrance to the competition. Keep your eyes open for them. And when you find one, share ‘em with your buddies.
