World Premiere Film Awards

FFL's Festival Validation
FFL feels responsible for only allowing legitimate and relevant festivals to accept submissions through our platform. Thus we verify the festival's legitimacy and relevance before pushing the call for submissions live. Some festivals are not being allowed to accept submissions at all. For festivals allowed to accept submissions FFL separates among:
VALIDATED FESTIVALS
These festivals fully comply with FFL's festival validation policy. There is no doubt that they are established and/or legitimate events.
NOT VALIDATED FESTIVALS
These festivals don't fully comply with FFL's festival validation policy but appear to be legitimate events. We will leave you to decide whether you should submit to this event or not. We also welcome any feedback about these events. You can report your experience at verification@filmfestivallife.com

Mission / description
At World Premiere Film Awards, our mission is to level the playing field and provide an equal platform for all entries according to experience and budget. Unlike some of the top tier f…estivals where films without a massive budget or publicist get lost in the shuffle, we guarantee your project will be seen and judged fairly. Our goal is to showcase and provide exposure for the very best in film making at all levels.
Simply put, you select the category and your film will be judged against entries of similar caliber. Categories are based primarily on length and budget. Each category winner will receive a beautiful WPFA certificate that you can be proud to display.
We have found that it costs an arm and a leg to get a review of your work. So we also offer an in depth review of your film for a very reasonable rate.
A little bit about us…
