Eligibility
To be eligible for the 2020 competition, entries must have been completed between January 31, 2018 and the deadline.
Projects from all over the world are eligible.
Categories
Select the category that most closely relates to your submission's type of program. You may enter the same production or program in multiple categories, including cast and crew categories. There is an entry fee for each category you enter. Individual entries are evaluated for their intrinsic merits – without comparing them with others.
Each entry is, in effect, in competition with itself, and is measured by our international award-winning jury of experts using an industry-accepted standard of excellence. The Web Series Festival reserves the right to expand and reduce the number of finalist in each category including, but not limited to, cancelling categories if there are no submissions that meet our standards of excellence.
A performer/on-air personality may enter multiple achievements in a performing category if the achievements are for different programs.
We reserve the right to change or modify each category as the Web Series Festival committee deems appropriate.
One Episode Rule
Please only upload one episode rather than put the entire series in the project viewer. You may put links to other episodes in the project page,
Fees for Screening Films
We do not pay screening fees on submitted series. By submitting to the Web Series Festival you waive any screening fees during the run of the festival to a live theater audience.
Press releases will be sent to international wire services and to the trades. A laureate will be sent to winning contacts following the awards presentation. Web Series Festival® winners may refer in advertising and publicity to the fact that they are a Web Series Festival ® winner and, for one year after the award was bestowed, may use a replica of the Web Series Festival ® award or the Web Series Festival ® logo in such advertising. A ® registration mark must accompany the use of the award.
Mailing Trophies
Winners that would like their trophy mailed to them are required contact the organizers, provide a current mailing address and pay all shipping fees INCLUDING customs handling and other fees if shipped outside of the united states. .
Physical Media
If you are mailing us physical media such as a hard drive, or Blu-ray Disc and would like to have them returned after the festival, please provide the necessary packaging and pre-paid postage so we can slip it into the mail immediately following the conclusion of the festival. The festival will NOT return physical media at the festivals cost.
