How do I submit a short?

Submission forms will be available for download from the Small Town Shorts Film Festival’s website and at the Trent Hills, Marmora & Lake, Madoc, Stirling-Rawdon, Asphodel-Norwood, and Tweed public libraries once submissions have opened. Submissions Open March 1, 2025.

I don’t live in the communities mentioned, can I still enter a short?

No. The Small Town Shorts Film Festival is only accepting submissions from residents of Madoc, Marmora & Lake, Stirling-Rawdon, Trent Hills, Asphodel-Norwood, and Tweed at this time.

I have an idea but don’t know where to start. What should I do?

Drop in to one of the programs the libraries are offering to learn about the festival and for tips on how to make your own. Stay tuned to Small Town Shorts on Instagram and your local library for upcoming programs to learn how to make a short. Or, stop by your local library and ask how they can help.
