Show us your thrilling escapades!

Risk. Danger. Hazard. Peril. Do those words get you? Have you captured the craziness in moving pictures? Then Audience Awards Adventure Film Festival is the contest for you. If you’ve made a film, 30 minutes or under, which features an extreme outdoor adventure, passion or craft, give it the chance to be seen worldwide.

HOW THE FINALISTS ARE DETERMINED: From the first round of live audience and jury voting on AudPop platform, the top 3 films with the most votes and the top 4 jury-selected films advance to the prestigious finals round. The finalist films are judged by an esteemed panel of industry jurors. The top three final jury winners from the finals round are deemed the finalists and will screen live at AudFest 2019 where they will compete against all of the finalist films from the previous year for the Best of Fest award.

2 things: 

1. Your film will be publicly viewed, so make sure it’s the right time for your film to gain an online audience. If it's too early for the public to watch your short film online, we invite you to come back next year and submit.

2. If you want your friends and family to vote for your film, share away. Audience voting greatly increases your views & exposure for your film and career, but social sharing is not necessary to win. The jury ultimately chooses the finalists and winners of the festival.
