SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

6. For submissions of several entries in one package, please provide for separate jackets for each disk and printed materials, making sure they do not mix up. Use air padded envelopes and avoid fiber especially when sending tape.
  
7. The preview disks or tapes must be clearly labeled with the name of film, filmmakers' names, year of completion and running time, both in English and the native language or languages of the film's co-producers.
  
Filmmakers should submit a brief, 1-paragraph synopsis of the film in the English language that can be easily used for future publicity. Longer promotion write-ups can also be included to help the festival organizers know more about the film.
  
8. The Philippine government through its regulatory agencies also screens the content and form of any film against its legal and moral standards, and rates them for audiences according to rapidly shifting opinions. Please be advised that some films acceptable or legally defensible in the cultures and political climate of the host countries may meet with difficulty getting approved for public exhibition in Manila. Repeated appeals for reversal of ratings with the regulators mean duplication of costs and can result in heavy financial losses for a particular film. Screeners of works in progress cannot be guaranteed exhibition because a final version might not pass the regulators.
  
 9. We discourage you from sending the final print for preview and you do so at your own risk. Both successful festival entrees and those not considered will be notified by email only, and only then will the festival request the filmmaker to send the final print. Because of the expenses entailed in transporting big rolls of celluloid, the festival will encourage submissions of final print in DVD form or some other suitable small format.

10. Pink Festival reserves the right to excerpt the chosen programmed works (up to 1 minute), photographic stills and promotional pictures/likenesses of the actors and crew for promotional purposes and to distribute these to broadcast and print media. You can email the accompanying materials before planning to send the application in hard copy so that we can check if you still have missing data entries. Please also send an email during the same time of sending the snail mail. This would notify us to expect material coming in the mail. Emailed inquiries can be directed to: pinkfestival06@ yahoo.com
