Apply for the Film Challenge

For six years we have worked tirelessly to keep the film challenge free, however, this came at a great cost to our organization. We have never before been able to compensate our team for the hundreds of hours it takes to review applications and carefully curate the crews. In order to ensure our sustainabilty, we can no longer work for free.

At the end of this application, we ask for a $50 donation to offset the cost of reviewing applications and creating the crews. If you are unable to donate that amount, you can choose a lower amount to suit your budget. If you are able to give more, please consider doing so to help your fellow applicants.
