There's just one week left to submit

The deadline to submit your videos to the Festival + Awards is February 20, which means it's (almost) your last chance to show us your best work in one or more of 13 categories. There are categories for everyone, and you don't have to be a professional filmmaker to show us your stuff. Submit your videos now.
