Submit here through January 19, 2024 by 11:59pm EST
The Monarch Short-Film Festival will have its second edition this 2023-2024 academic year. This annual event will showcase and highlight the work of ODU Film Students and Alumni*. The Festival is a competitive event where members of a jury will individually watch and assign points (1-10) to each of the movies submitted. It will end with an award ceremony-evening-event where the top scoring movies (as determined by the points assigned by the jury) will be screened to the audience, and the movie winners of the event will be announced and awarded. Best Student Film (overall) and Audience Favorite will be awarded during the event ceremony on February 9, 2024.
*ODU Alumni may only submit and compete in the Best Short-Alumni category. But, if the work to be submitted was created while the alumnus was enrolled as a student at ODU (before graduation), this work should be submitted in one of the three student categories—Best Short-Fiction, Best Short-Documentary or Best Short-Animation.
