About the
Movies
You can make a movie about anything. Featured categories include Best Picture, Best Drama, and Best Comedy. We have also partnered with OurStage for a brand new online competition offering $2,000 more in prizes–click here for the details. |

And this year, we're also proud to offer a new social justice category brought to you by the Elfenworks Foundation. Find out more about the opportunity to make a movie to make a difference, and possibly win a $10,000 grant.

Guidelines
The most important movie
guidelines are that the submissions must be five
minutes or less created during Campus MovieFest
week. Also, permission is needed for any music
used in the movies that's not original -- fortunately,
CMF provides you with thousands of tracks to consider
from top local artists. |
