Works in progress are accepted. Submit to one appropriate category: the programming team considers films across applicable sections and may reassign selected work. Student and Films for Families competitions have separate review teams and may require an additional entry.\n\nSelected filmmakers must supply publicity materials by the January deadlines specified by the festival, including images, an electronic press kit, a secure media screener, trailers and clips. Filmmakers pay for delivery of exhibition material; Cinequest pays return shipping. When a print or film goes directly to another festival, that festival pays onward shipping.\n\nThe submitter must have authority to enter the work and accept the festival terms. Cinequest may use excerpts from accepted films for promotion. The rights holder agrees to indemnify the festival against claims concerning submitted material, including copyright, trademarks, credits, publicity, screening, loss or damage.
