CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: March on Washington Film Festival 2023

“It’s festivals like March on Washington that create opportunities of equity in show business.” – Student and Emerging Filmmaker Competition winner Christopher Thomas Brown

Early Bird Deadline April 28 – Applications Now Open!

Debuting in 2016, the Student and Emerging Filmmaker Competition lets filmmakers use cinematic storytelling to consider “what’s your civil right?” and how best to speak truth to power. Past winners have been nominated for an Academy Awards, shown their film Tribeca, and assumed high-profile broadcasting production roles. Cash prizes are awarded to eight documentary and narrative filmmakers, and honored films will be screened at our Festival this fall.

Apply by April 28 for an early bird submission discount!
