Yes, but you are limited to one film per category and each submission must be a different film. But you may only be a winner for one category. However, you may win the Grand Prize and one category.
Do I have to be a member of Link TV to vote or submit?
Yes, you must register with us so we can verify that you are in the U.S. to submit or vote. This film contest is also an opportunity to interact with other Link TV members, and be a part of the larger community.
What rights am I agreeing to when I submit my film?
See Rules and Regulations . In order for us to air your film on Link TV and on our website, you will have to give us a limited non-exclusive license for just the submitted version of your film. You will continue to own copyright and be allowed to enter your film in other competitions and festivals.
Why are only people in the U.S. eligible to enter and vote?
The goal of the film contest is to inspire people to use Chicago and the people there as a showcase to inspire other Chicagoans and Americans how working together can build community and support the common good. Although anyone may submit a film, as long as it’s based in Chicago or about people living or working in Chicago, we believe people living in the U.S. can best judge what films are most inspirational.
I took some music off of a CD. Is this okay?
All music used in your film submission must have releases or clearances from whoever owns the music rights. That’s why you are welcome to use our pre-cleared music included in the Director’s Toolkit.
I uploaded my film but I don’t see it on the site yet. What happened?
Your film is still under review by our moderators. You will receive email notification when your submission has been accepted and is live on the site or has been found unacceptable due to stated criteria.
I’ve just seen an inappropriate comment, what can I do?
All registered members have the ability to flag inappropriate comments. These are then reviewed by the moderator who will decide if these are inappropriate or not.
