Austin Film Festival Film Competition

Regular Deadline: May 20, 2025
Late Deadline: Jun 24, 2025
Online Extended Deadline: Jul 08, 2025

AFF’s Annual Script and Film Competitions are perhaps the most critical embodiment of our mission – to further the art and craft of storytelling by inspiring and championing the work of writers, filmmakers, and all artists who use written and visual language to tell a story. A cornerstone of our programming, the Annual Competitions identify, embolden, and celebrate the talents of top emerging writers and filmmakers each year. Much more than just the famous bronze typewriter award, AFF winners utilize their AFF accolades to secure agents, representation, film distribution and to skyrocket their careers. AFF competitions seek to do much more than honor winners but increase the visibility of the visionary writers and filmmakers just on the cusp of a breakthrough.
