General Questions
Can I submit to ANIMAZE via paper/email/ air mail?
We cannot accept submissions that do not go through our online submission format FilmFreeway. It is difficult to keep track of films when there’s no electronic record of a submission, it makes addressing potential unforeseen problems.
How will we be notified*?
