You KNOW they Care about Filmmaking!

The best thing about the Accolade Global Film Competition is you know they care about filmmaking. Not only do they have some incredible films in their competition but the friendliness and communication was very refreshing. We were very proud to have won the Film Short Award Of Excellence from such a prestigious competition and I HIGHLY recommend submitting to multiple categories. It is well worth it!

Structure Allows EVERY Deserving Filmmaker to Receive Recognition!

At many festivals, one film will win an award in a certain category and multiple other award-worthy films will go unrecognized. But the structure of the Accolade Competition allows for every deserving film/filmmaker to receive recognition for their hard work. That is why they are an invaluable competition, they really care about encouraging quality filmmaking. I highly recommend submitting to Accolade!

Incredibly Responsive – Awesome Experience.

As a first time film-maker, everything is new, and I need a lot of hand-holding and explanation.

One of the Most Important Festivals in the US

This extraordinary Festival lets me think that it is certainly one of the most important short film festivals of the United States because of its remarkable sense of the organization and the prices granted.

Long live at “The Accolade Global Film Competition!”

IMDB Winner Credit is Awesome!

Receiving a Award of Recognition from the Accolade Global Film Competition is a tremendous honor for me, especially because I am now 22 years young and this is my first feature film. Having this unique appreciation and confirmation for my work and my talent from the Accolade is very significant for me and of great importance for my feature as a filmmaker. I’m indeed grateful to be a Award Winner of November 2017 at this wonderful Film Festival. Also the promotion which Accolade Global Film Competition has for its winners is fantastic. Having my great winner credit on IMDb is awesome and I am very happy with all writing with the Accolade Team.

Well Established, Grants Credibility

I needed a competitive festival for the veteran film makers, very well established and known that is capable of granting credibility.
