… is the name for our video festival, somewhat coordinated with our Northeast Regional Conference and Trade Show. The schedule runs roughly:
- Early May – open for submissions on Film Freeway
- Late May/early June – Early Bird deadline for submissions (discounted entry fees)
- Mid-June – Regular deadline
- July thru August – Judging (Judges get sneak peeks at submissions; you could be one!)
- September – Finalists announced, but not in order
- October/November – Awards Ceremony will reveal who wins First, Second, and Third Place with a free Reception of light victuals and heart-pounding video reel of winning clips!
Submission fee rates are tiered for ACM members and non-members.
ACM Northeast Region uses FilmFreeway for all the information, rules, categories, submissions, judging–everything!
We often hold a Special Video Contest with particular themes* They are necessarily quick (3-4 minutes) and often quirky because the theme is announced just a few weeks before our Awards Ceremony. The final 3-5 entries get judged by attendees.
*”Why My Entry Was Late,” blooper documentary, parody election campaign, “Why My Summer Vacation Got Derailed.”
