About the Pitch
The Sonscreen Pitch Competition gives student filmmakers a chance to win funding for future projects. To apply, submit a pitch deck, a short video of your pitch spokesperson, and any optional supporting materials. Five finalists will pitch live at the festival to a panel of judges, and three winners will receive funding to bring their ideas to life.
Registration will open soon. Once it is open, please review the pitch guidelines carefully before registering, then click below to enter the competition. Scroll down for more details and sample pitch videos.

Pitch Winners: How to Get Paid
Some pitch finalists miss their funding when a valid W-9 form isn’t submitted in time. To avoid delays, award winners should download the form below, complete it, and email it to us within six months of the festival. Submitting your W-9 promptly ensures your payment can be released as quickly as possible.
