All students submitting films and at lest one school representative need to be members of ASIFA-Hollywood. All films must be submitted through the student's educational program.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Each animation department will select and submit the best student films to represent the program. There will be no limit to the number of films that may be submitted from each program for the 2008 festival, but we fully expect that we will have to ration the number of submissions per program in future (possibly as soon as the 2009 festival).
