Don't miss out on your chance to enter North America's longest running film festival!
The Yorkton Film Festival (YFF) has announced there is less than one month left to enter this year's Golden Sheaf Awards competition. The YFF is accepting submissions for the 2014 GSAs until 11:59 p.m. January 31, 2014. Entries are $95 and $40 for students.
As the submission deadline nears, entrants are asked to ensure they have included all of the required submission materials including:
1. The correct number of DVDs (two for all entries, plus one for every subcategory entered).
2. Your timecode sheet and title screenshot (please email to the office).
All submission materials must reach the festival office by no later than February 6, 2014. Those submitting in the final two weeks are strongly advised to use a courier service rather than regular mail.
This year's festival includes 18 main film categories, ranging from Animation to Student Production. In addition our 18 category awards, a submitted film may also qualify for one of our special awards: the Ruth Shaw Best of Saskatchewan, Emerging Filmmaker and Aboriginal awards.
Eligibility for these awards and all categories are available on the festival website: www.goldensheafawards.com
After the close of submissions, the adjudication process will begin. The nominees will be announced in two rounds during March and April; and the winners of the Golden Sheaf Awards will be announced at the Yorkton Film Festival Gala on May 24, 2014.
The 2014 Yorkton Film Festival will take place May 22 to May 25, 2014. The event will include professional development workshops and panels featuring industry leaders, film screenings, our signature Lobsterfest, and the Golden Sheaf Awards gala ceremony. All pertinent information, including submission guidelines and the registration entry form, can be found on the YFF website.
