LGBTQ-U has a system to ensure entries aren't competing
against each other, but are recognized for their merits.
They compete against themselves: we judge each entry on its own merits and
score it on an inherent value system.
An "Official Selection" means your film passed the first judging
stage (didn't get rejected) and now goes to the AWARD judges to decide which
awards it will receive if any.
It does not mean your film will screen.
We will send the award notification the week of April 27, 2025.
Our long-standing and reputable distribution associates will review your film
if it wins Best Of Festival or Best Of Show.
LGBTQ-U will screen Best of Festival winners at the WRPN.tv Event in Rehoboth
Beach, DE, in June 2025
