A platform to make your voice heard

As Dylan sang, "Come writers and critics/ who prophesize with your pen/ and keep your eyes wide/ The chance won't come again."

Filmmakers from around the world are invited to submit to the Audience Awards 2016 Social Political Film Festival, which runs from November 1 - 8, 2016.

Filmmakers have a gift for reach people in ways others do not. Our deadline approaches for you to use the gift for good. If you've made a short film calling attention to a social or political issue relevant to the controversial times in which we live, the Audience Awards offers you an invaluable platform for exposure. And our winning filmmakers don't just gain exposure - like press and social media engagement - but also opportunities to further your career, including $2,700 in cash and prizes and a chance to screen at AudFest at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood, April 6 - 9, 2017. 

The Audience Awards is committed to providing a stage for short films. Our platform is dedicated to celebrating the power of storytelling and building an audience for short films. Created by filmmakers, for filmmakers, we are here to help you grow your career and fund your film dreams.

Please use the "Discussion" tab for any questions you may have.
