Submit your movie to TromaDance Detroit today!

1. Online Submissions

TromaDance Detroit's primary way to submit a film is through FilmFreeways.com. Please follow the link below and simply follow the instructions on the site to submit.

2. Snail Mail Submission

For mailings, please print out the entry form below and send it along with your entry to:

TROMADANCE DETROIT ENTRIES
2680 Mott Ave.
Waterford MI 48328

All entries and material sent will not be returned. The entry form also doubles as a release form, giving Tromadance Detroit the right to use your film in anyway necessary in conjunction with Tromadance Detroit. Submission by you of a film constitutes your understanding and agreement to these official rules.

3. The Selection Process

Selections for the TromaDance Detroit Film Festival are judged by an official selection committee brought together specifically for this purpose. Films are judged based on artistic merit and originality. Your film need not include sex and violence!

TromaDance receives hundreds to thousands of entries every year, so unfortunately, due to the number of entries received, we cannot communicate with filmmakers as to the status of their film. If your film is selected for TromaDance, we will contact you using the information provided on the official entry form.

4. Official Rules

Deadline - All submissions must be received no later than Midnight, May 18th, 2018. There is no cost for entry, but we do accept $1 donations!

Format - Although the film may be shot in any manner you feel necessary, the submission must be on PAL DVD, Region 1 DVD, All Region DVD, or Blu-Ray. You may submit more than one film. Please use separate DVDs or Blu-Rays and entry forms for each title.

Film Information - Please feel free to include any kind of publicity material or information regarding the film along with your submission. Films accepted to the festival will be asked to submit a photo (or photos) and link for an online trailer or equivalent for use on the Tromadance Detroit website.

Judging - All entries will be judged by the Tromadance Detroit Selection Committee - which is comprised of most of the organizers of the event and 10 fans of Tromadance Detroit.

Notification - If you are selected, you will be contacted, either by phone, mail or e-mail. The Tromadance Detroit film festival committee members are volunteers and due to the high volume of submissions the festival receives, Tromadance Detroit will contact only the filmmakers whose films are selected for exhibition.
