Welcome to 100 Voices of Florida hosted by Lab 3 Productions (“We”).

100VOF organizes quarterly (total 4) skill-based short film contest (“Contest”) solely for Floridian filmmakers. The monetary award for winning the Contest will be $1,000 USD (“Prize”). Only one contest will be run at a time, following the seasonal calendar, listed directly on 100vof.com (“Website”) on the Contest page. Unless otherwise specifically described, each quarterly Contest will follow the same rules in which an interested participant (“Entrant”) shall fill out and submit an application form by May 18, 2024 at 10pm ET. The application form requires the Entrant’s first & last name, phone number, email, a brief description as to how the Entrant will be using the prize, a viewing link to the completed short film, and entry fee of $15 USD. A “completed” short film is defined by a film that has completed all three stages of the filmmaking process: pre-production, production, and post-production; a film that would be ready to show in front of an audience. The Prize is awarded to the best film for each contest by a panel of judges with professional filmmaking experience. The description as to how the Prize will be used is not included in the judging process. Each contest has an opportunity to have multiple winners. For everyone 100 submissions, the judges will select another winner. Winners, who accept the Prize, are able to use that as they chose given that this Prize is unrestricted.

Eligibility: Each Contest are open to all filmmakers who are U.S. Citizens, 18 years of age or older, and currently reside in the state of Florida at the time of entry. We encourage filmmakers to submit films made in Florida, as well, but it is not required. Winners may be asked to show proof prior to receiving the Prize. The completed short film must be either submitted in English or with accurate English subtitles if in another language. Submitted films can be entered into other contests or competitions, such as film festivals. Currently, there are no requirements to when the completed film was finished. Adaptations are ineligible unless the underlying rights are owned by the Entrant or the work is in the public domain (Entrants may be asked to confirm the aforementioned). We reserve the right to amend these requirements at any time.

Rules: Contest submissions are only accepted via electronic submission found on the Site in the Contest page. Once the deadline has passed, we will no longer accept applications. All materials and payment must be submitted here. The total running time for submitted films must be between 5-15 minutes. Any submitted film that is under or over will automatically be disqualified. At this time, Entrants are allow to submit more than one completed film but must submit an application form and $15 USD fee for each one. The entrant must own all the rights to the film and the submitted film must be original. All films submitted to the Contest remains with the original rights holder. To minimize complications, we discourage films submitted by a directorial team as we likely will not be able to split prize. Entrants are expected to stay on top of their inbox as communication will be primarily sent through email. Winner(s) may be asked to submit proof of eligibility, such as government issued identification, release form and affidavit to receive funds, film-related paperwork, and more. Failure to respond with requested information in 3 days may result in disqualification. In order to receiving the Prize, the Winner(s) must re-submit the film including a graphic We provide for at least 4 seconds in the opening credits that will read “Supported by 100 Voices of Florida, learn more at 100vof.com”.
