The link “how to submit” does not seem to be functioning. How can I obtain submission information, an application, rurles and regs, etc.?
Hi Stan,
Thank you for the notice on the broken link. It should be working now. If you have any other questions. Let us know.
Thanks,
CDS Porch
Is there any extension to the Nov 30th deadline for submissions? Thanks
Hi Ramsay,
Unfortunately there is no extension to the deadline. However, the deadline is a shipping deadline meaning it does not have to be in by the 30th just postmarked. You can find more information here http://www.fullframefest.org/festival/submit-2/guidelines-application-instructions/ .
Thanks,
CDS
