I’ve recently come across a new take on film contests, one that rests solely on social media.
Film Annex launched a monthly contest called the War of Films a little over a year ago; they give out $2,000 to a winner each month that had highest number of votes within that month. The votes come from total number of tweets, Facebook Likes and now the new Google +1.
People who do win can still participate again as long as they’ve got a new film to promote.
Film Annex currently has 220,000 users, that’s a lot of films!
Bottom line is the chances of winning lie entirely on you and how much effort you put into spreading the word through social media.
Having entered a film contest myself where you’ve got no clue who is reading your stuff and what your chances of winning actually are, War of Films is a breath of fresh air.
Film Annex also features a filmmaker, a movie, and a web channel on its homepage every week. If you want to get more exposure as a filmmaker or showcase your film to millions of viewers, submit your film to filmannex.com and join the community!
Film Annex is an incredible tool for film makers to showcase their work and get a revenue as well. Fantastic concept!
