Making the world laugh, one film at a time.

Do you have a hysterical short film (or maybe just a film where no one dies?)? Then submit it for the world to see at Audience Awards!

The Audience Awards has an open call for short comedic films and videos. Filmmakers from around the world are invited to submit to the 2016 Comedy Shorts Film Festival that runs September 20 - 29, 2016. The film with the most votes wins $300 + a Filmstro soundtrack license for a movie with up to a $1M budget worth $1999.

Jury + Audience Awards selections win a total of $2,699 in cash and prizes. The winning films will screen at AudFest at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood, April 6 - 9, 2017.

All of the filmmakers who are a part of our festivals gain invaluable exposure including press and social media engagement. Anyone may submit to this film festival, but videos are judged for admittance into the festival before audience & jury voting opens.

In addition to the prize money for your film, the audience award winning film wins a Filmstro soundtrack license worth $1999 for movies with a $1M budget or less.
