• All films must be produced solely by students currently enrolled and attending a New Hampshire public or private high school (grades 9-12). Submitting students can be either New Hampshire residents or out-of-state residents attending school in-state. New Hampshire homeschooled students ages 14-18 are also eligible.

• Films can either be produced as part of a school project or independently.

• Films being submitted to other festivals and contests including the NHHSSFF, SkillsUSA, and others are encouraged to be submitted here as well if they touch upon subjects of teen safety.  

• Submitted films must be original works and filmmakers must be able to provide proof of licensing for any copyrighted material featured in the project to be eligible. Proper on-screen credit for licensed work is also required.

•  Applicants under 18 at the time of submission must also submit a signed Parent/Guardian Consent Form.

• Once a project has been submitted for consideration, no revisions will be accepted.

• Each film submitted will be pre-screened by the festival selection committee, we will note in our program and promotional material those films that may have mature content and subject matter, and we reserve the right to refuse screening any film with content deemed especially gratuitous.
