			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Filmfire96]I've only just noticed this. Very interesting, I may throw something in. 
So this is a festival right? Not a contest? Because that actually makes me more keen on it, a lot of my recent stuff has been made for competitions so it doesn't always feel right to enter them into more competitions, it makes you look like you're just making one film and seeing how much you can win out of it. That isn't the case with me at all, I just love the idea of it being screened at a professional festival. I've already entered Marooned into 2 competitions, so I may not enter it again. But then again it is my best work, and if there isn't any prizes then its not another competition I'm entering it into.

But this definitely interests me. I will probably enter something, I might as well. Do you show all the films? Or only the 'best' ones?[/quote]


Sorry I haven't been on the boards lately, been pretty busy with my regular day job as of late.

1. The Montreal Stop-Motion Film Festival is a film festival. Awards are given out in each of the three categories: Academic (school) films, Independent films and Professional films. So in that sense, the festival is competitive. However, we don't charge for entry, and you don't give up any rights upon submission. Free to enter, no sneaky stuff.

2. The festival runs for three days, and we try to run as many films as we can. We do have a submissions jury, but as the festival is still extremely young (only on our third edition) we do screen many amateur films. 


[quote=LGFB Studios]The brickfilms are not allowed in this festival, guys... mini/sad

Nevertheless, the ''Claymations'' films are allowed.
[/quote]

I just confirmed with our festival director that brickfilms are indeed not eligible for the festival this year. I wasn't aware this was the case, as brickfilms were allowed in the festival's previous two editions. I'm not entirely sure why this change was made, I'm shocked myself. I apologize for wasting everyone's time, and effort if you've already submitted films.

However, it's very likely that we will have a "Toymation" category next year, which will be for films created with Legos, Bionicles, articulated toys, etc. So keep on brickfilming! Once again, I want to apologize for the mix-up. Hope you guys don't harbor any ill-will. I'd personally love to have brickfilms in the festival, but the choice isn't mine. But I will definitely be fighting for the creation of that Toymation category next year! :D]]></content>

You'll never know unless you submit! Next year there will most likely be a youth screening, for films made by people in elementary and high school. So keep animating!

Yup, that's the reason these kinds of sites exist! Any music or sounds from royalty-free/copyright-free sites like Soungle, freesoundproject, sounddogs, or that come with software are perfectly acceptable.]]></content>
