WE ACCEPT PROJECTS IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:
Animation
Live Action
Interactive

Game
DO YOU REALLY ACCEPT VR GAMES?
Yes, we love games! We look for projects that approach game development as an art form and push the medium forward in unexpected directions.
IF MY PROJECT HAS BEEN EXHIBITED IN THE PAST, IS IT STILL ELIGIBLE?
If your project has been exhibited publicly in the past it is still eligible for Kaleidoscope. However, we do give special weight to "premieres."
CAN I SUBMIT MY PROJECT IF IT IS NOT YET FINISHED?
Yes. We encourage you to submit projects that are still work-in-progress.
HOW OLD CAN MY PROJECT BE AND STILL QUALIFY?
There is no date restriction. It can be an oldie just as long as it's a goodie. ;-)
HOW MANY PROJECTS CAN I SUBMIT?
You can submit as many projects as you like. After you've submitted one project, just refresh this page to generate a new submission form.
WHEN WILL I FIND OUT WHETHER MY PROJECT WAS SELECTED?
We are a small team and only review applications once each quarter. So depending on when you submitted please don’t be surprised or upset if you don’t hear from us for up to three months.
