Domestic Film Competition

The 9th annual IFF Film Competition will judge short and feature films from undergraduate schools and graduate film schools from around the world. An official selection of around 30 films will be carefully chosen by a select number of qualified student judges. All films submitted must have been completed while the filmmaker was enrolled in an institution of higher learning. Once selected, the official selection will be sent to industry professionals (directors, writers, producers, executives) who will be in attendance at the 2012 Ivy Film Festival, and they will select the winning films. Submissions will be accepted from September through February.

Screenplay Competition

The 11th annual IFF Screenplay Competition will judge both short and long form student written screenplays in separate competitions. A panel of qualified student judges will read each submission and select four semi-finalist screenplays according to an established set of guidelines. These criteria include concept, character development, dialogue, and story. Once selected, the finalist submissions will be sent to industry professionals (agents, producers, creative executives, writers, directors) who will choose the final winning screenplay, to be announced during the festival in April. The winners for each category will receive prizes and a reading of their work during the festival. Submissions will be accepted from September through February.
