Rules & Conditions of Entry or Submissions
If Steps 1-3 from above have not been completed you will not be posted onto the site nor entered into the Filmfest running for screening at the event. Winners will be chosen based upon their trailer and films played and chosen by actual horror fans around the world. All films will be reviewed by movie making professionals and if your film is not of a good quality and worth submitting it may not even make it to the voting process with your trailer posted, if it is not you will be notified via email that you did not make it past the pre qualifying judges to get your trailer placed… Note that not all submissions will make it past this point either so if you don’t think your film will make the trailer cut, do not submit because there are no refunds period. Crypticon Conventions does not pick the actual winners and does not pick the actual trailers to be presented; professionals do and consumers pick the winners. If you do not agree to these legally standard event rules and conditions, please do not submit your film. Good Luck and keep making horror films for the fanatics who love them please! Submitters must own all legal rights to the films they are submitting and agree to all the terms and conditions within the site and upon the Entry Submission Form below.
