International Performing Arts & Movie Awards Submissions Now Open

International Performing Arts & Movie Awards (IPAMA) vision is to support both independent and professional art performers and filmmakers who have passion about what they are doing to get international recognition and exposure and to boost their careers.
IPAMA is searching for films with a captivating storytelling, excellent technique, and cinematography. Winning films will become a series of showcases to standout in their festival.
In Performing Arts, IPAMA is seeking art performers with exceptional talents, matchless creativeness, or unique performance. The juries of the festival will judge based on the recording of your live performance, and your performance history, if available.
The festival opens submissions to  filmmakers (including newcomers and film students) from all over the world to submit their short and feature films or documentaries. IPAMA also invites talented art performers from various countries to submit their performance recording.
With their package, IPAMA focuses  on the details of every film, on the brilliance of every aspect, every department, and every performance. Every achievement deserves an award. All films and documentaries can be submitted for different categories as this will increase your chance of winning.
Art performers will be given an option to perform in our Awards Ceremony, in February 2018.
