ENCOUNTERS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 2009

Sponsored by Yousendit

Two weeks to go to the submission deadline Tuesday 30 June 2009. In an attempt to go green and reduce the amount of DVD’s submitted, Encounters sponsored by YouSendIt now offers the opportunity to upload your film and save £5 of the submission fee. To access further reductions we are also offering all those submitting 2 or more films a reduced rate, please go to http://www.encounters-festival.org.uk/account.html#MULTIPLE or contact the festival office ( info@encounters-festival.org.uk) for further info.  See www.encounters-festival.org.uk for further details.

submission fees to be able to operate as we do not receive the same

state support that other European festivals do. We are aware that some institutes and organizations

struggle with this payment particularly regarding multiple entries and as a result we do offer discounts

for multiple entries.

We have produced the template below as a guide to discounts that apply when submitting multiple

entries.

if the applicant resides in a less economically developed country and simply cannot afford to pay

western fees.
