DWBFF
is hereby granted the right to utilize an excerpt from any film
submitted and accepted for competition at the Festival for promotional
purposes.
A brief clip of winning entries may also be streamed on the Docs
Without Borders Film Festival website and WRPN.TV.
Submitting your film to DWBFF automatically puts you on our mailing
list, to receive emails from DWBFF and WRPN.TV, so that you will be
informed of developments regarding the status of your film. This
mailing list is private and will not be shared with any third parties.
You may unsubscribe at any time at the risk of missing pertinent
information regarding your film.
The individual or corporation submitting the film hereby warrants that
it is authorized to commit the film for screening, and understands and
accepts these requirements and regulations.
The Competition reserves the right to refuse entries.
DVD's will not be returned.
Submissions in other than English must be subtitled, dubbed or include
an English transcript.
If there is insufficient competition within any particular category,
DWBFF reserves the right to withdraw a "Best Of" presentation in that
particular category.
Filmmakers who enter only discounted sub-categories, but no major
categories, are not eligible for "Best Of Show" award level.
In order to insure that each film is studied and rated an individual
basis, DWBFF has instituted a system to insure that entries do not
compete against each other, but instead are recognized for their own
individual merits. For all intents and purposes, they compete against
themselves: each entry is judged on individual merits and scored on an
inherent value system. We want to insure that the judges?€™ focus is on
you when it is your turn to be evaluated, not on all the other films
that are in cue: this insures that they will not have comparisons going
on in their minds when they should be focusing entirely on YOU.
Judges score entries on a performance scale and winning entries are
recognized and awarded not only for Best Of Show, but also for two
Awards of Excellence levels, two Awards of Merit levels, a Kudos
Endeavor Award, or no award.
Best of Show honors are granted to the top scoring entry/entries for
each season; Awards of Excellence are granted to entries with truly
exceptional artistic and technical achievements; and notable
achievements are recognized at the Award of Merit and 'Kudos' award
levels.
The number of awards granted at any given level will fluctuate based on
the total number of entries received for each competition deadline.
The undersigned shall indemnify and hold harmless DOCS WITHOUT BORDERS
FILM FESTIVAL, WRPN.TV, and ROMAN PICTURES from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including but not
limited to attorney's fees, and costs of the court) which may be
incurred by reason of any claim involving copyright, trademark,
credits, publicity, screening, and loss of or damage to the screening
videos entered.
Submitting filmmakers whom have in any way been associated with Roman
Pictures, WRPN.TV, or any of the executive producers for the above
mentioned organizations, will be disqualified due to conflict of
interest, and any submission fees will be refunded. The filmmaker
hereby asserts that no such association with executive producers for
Roman Pictures or WRPN.TV exists or has existed in the past.
