Works should be unpublished and addressed to the general public. Entries can be fiction, animation, documentary, and more.

The One-Minute Movies category will award up to 20 videos that last no more than 60 seconds (in any media platform). The Short Movie category will select two projects.

TAG Gallery, a successful artists' co-op located in Santa Monica,

mailing list and attract new buyers. TAG has been in operation since
