I was very impressed with the communication and level of detail supplied by the competition. As an online competition you’re never too sure what you may get but Accolade provided a high level of customer service and an excellent response to emails and queries. We were lucky enough to win we were provided with laurels, press info and the like which have been incredibly helpful

Accolade is an awesome online festival and a terrific way for first time filmmakers to get their feet wet with the idea of competition. The level of correspondence from the festival is outstanding. Rick is always available to answers questions and he gets back to you immediately. This festival is definitely worth the submission fee.

Excellent experience–thrilled to have been recognized in the Islamic category with a merit award–they were very good with communication and updating corrections and also provided me with a letter to include in a grant application

Happy and proud by had have a chance to compete at this festival. An excellent international showcase for new and independent filmmakers with professional and fair judgements, plus the great and always pleasant communication. It really worth the entry fee.

Amazing experience, yet another award competition that doesn’t let a frown build up on indie filmmakers. I suggest for anyone in doubt, to submit your film because here work and talent is valued away from any excessive glitz or glamour

I was absolutely thrilled and honoured that my film, ‘The Last Laugh’ won Award of Excellence (Special Mention) at Accolade. This is a great competition, which I would thoroughly recommend for any independent filmmakers. The communication was excellent and it seems to be run by people who are really passionate about the art of filmmaking.

Thank you for accepting our trailer and thank you for such a great film festival! Not only is your festival affordable but also helps new filmmakers like myself have our work recognized and awarded on an international level. Also love the laurel design. Thanks again! Well worth the entry. Keep up the amazing work and supporting emerging filmmakers.

Very smooth process, friendly and responsive staff, great festival!

The Accolades were extremely easy to work with and provided our film with the recognition for which we were hoping. It is nice to share a film with other industry professionals who appreciate a good story.

The festival was very easy to enter and contact and support by the organizers was never lacking. Very professional. Although my film did not make the cut, it was a very supportive environment.
