There are three simple ways to submit your entry.

• FilmFreeway is the choice of film festivals everywhere, and you can submit your film or photo through their website at filmfreeway.com/2026SpringfieldDog-CademyAwards. They'll ask you quite a bit of information about your film, because they assume that you're entering into lots of festivals and want to have all the info any festival might need.
• Our Google Form is a simpler way for people to enter (and probably easier to do from your phone!). You'll answer some questions telling us about you and your film, and then choose how you want to upload your film.
• If technology is not your thing - that's fine with us! We'll help you get your film submitted at The Moxie Cinema. Keep watching this space, because we'll be announcing some times when you can come to The Moxie, and we'll figure out how to get your movie and get you entered!
