Film Submissions
SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN VIA FILMFREEWAY
Submissions close 16 August 2024.
Each year, hundreds of films participate in the APSA competition. More than 3,000 films have competed in the region’s highest accolade in film.
“The number and calibre of entries we receive each year is confirmation that APSA has been embraced by the region’s film industry. Asia Pacific filmmakers needed an award of their own, to acclaim their work and take it to a global audience,” APSA Founding Chairman and Advisory Board Member, Des Power AM.
The Asia Pacific Screen Awards judging process is conducted in three phases:
1. Films submitted for consideration.
The APSA secretariat invites films to ensure the broadest representation possible from the 78 countries and areas engaged by APSA. Films are submitted for competition consideration via FilmFreeway.
2. Nominee Selection
The International Nominations Council view films, deliberates and votes to reach nominees.
3. Winner Selection
International Juries are appointed to determine the winners, which are announced at the Awards Ceremony held in November in Australia.
