ENTRY MATERIALS
For our selection process we require only one copy of your film, in standard CD or DVD format (region 0 or 2 only). Each CD/DVD must be clearly marked with its entry number which is provided when you register at our website as above. The case of each CD/DVD should be labelled with the title, submission number, your name and email address. We regret that we are unable to accept submissions in VHS, on film, or any other format other than CD/DVD.

Please ensure that your entry is submitted in a format of the highest possible quality, as the version which you submit, if selected, will be exhibited during the festival.

Please ensure you use the correct postage and packing in sending your submission to us, as we will not pay or contribute towards the costs of postage or materials.

We do not accept responsibility for submissions lost or damaged in the post - you should consider insuring your submission if you are concerned about its loss. You agree that, whilst we will use reasonable endeavours to handle your submissions with care, we will not be held liable for any damage or loss caused to your submission during shipping, preview, screening or otherwise.

If your film is damaged after being selected for exhibition at the festival, or is later found to suffer from glitches, we will request a replacement from you. We will have no liability to you if you do not provide a replacement in time to be included in the festival.

Due to the volume of submissions which we receive, we regret that we are unable to return your submissions. All CDs/DVDs which have not been selected for exhibition will be recycled.

THE SELECTION PROCESS
A shortlist will be selected by our panel of judges from the films submitted. The judges' decisions will be final, and will be announced on our website in August 2007. We cannot guarantee to view all submissions to the festival which we receive, although we will use reasonable endeavours to do so.

We are open to all films submitted in accordance with these terms and we will not in general reject a film solely on the basis of its subject matter. However, we will not consider a film if we reasonably consider its content is obscene, defamatory, excessively violent or in breach of any applicable laws or if it is otherwise unlawful for us to view or exhibit such film at our chosen venues.

If you have submitted a film in accordance with these terms, you will be notified by email in August 2007 as to whether you are on our shortlist. The selection procedure is intended to be constructive and transparent. If you are not selected for the shortlist then we are happy for you to email us a request to explain our reasons for not selecting your film for our shortlist.

THE FESTIVAL - PUBLIC EXHIBITION
We will not pay you for any exhibition of your film at our festival or other use of your film in accordance with these terms.

All films selected for exhibition at the festival will be considered for a final awards screening on the last day of the festival (the "Festival Final"), from which an overall winner will be selected. Nominations for the final will be announced during the festival.

We may, in its discretion, produce a souvenir compilation DVD of those films that reach the Festival Final, which may be sold at the festival and on our website. We will not make this DVD available for general sale elsewhere, and will not distribute these films individually or other than in association with the festival, without your prior consent.
