How to EnterEntries must be submitted on DVD in NTSC format only. Each film must be accompanied by a completed entry form and an entry fee. Checks should be made out to: Grease Bomb, LLC

Please send 3 copies of your film on DVD. Films will not be returned (unless you really need them back). Films selected for the festival are placed in the Official NYC Food Film Festival Archive and may be used for promotional purposes.

If your film is selected, you must be able to provide the NYC Food Film Festival with up to (but not limited to) 3 excellent production stills to be distributed to the press and for use on the festival website. It probably goes without saying, but the best stills get the best exposure. If your film has a link to a trailer online that is a bonus.

There is no limit to the number of films you may enter. There is also no restriction on the date your film was completed.  ALL GENRES are eligible for entry (documentary, animation, narrative, instructional, food porn É)

Entry Fees$30 for feature films (45 minutes and over), $20 for shorts (under 45 minutes, but longer than 5 mins), $10 for super-shorts (under 5 minutes).

All entries should be mailed, no later than April 3rd, 2009, to:

Selection The selection of films is made by the Festival Selection Committee. ONLY FILMS ABOUT FOOD WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THE FESTIVAL. A bonus to your entry would be if your film contains food or a cooking method that can be reproduced live as your film is being shown. A Director or representative from the film able to attend their screening is a plus.
