Ozark Foothills FilmFest is currently accepting submissions for the 2011 (10th Annual) festival, set for March 23-27, 2011 in Batesville, Arkansas. The festival is non-competitive. However, as part of the festival's 10th Anniversary celebration, an Audience Favorite Award will be presented. All festival films will be eligible for this $500 cash award that will be determined by audience vote.

Entries are accepted in two categories:

OFFICIAL SELECTION. Narrative or documentary films forty minutes or longer in length. Six to eight Official Selections are screened during the festival.

INDIE FILM SHOWCASES. Narrative, documentary, animated, or experimental films less than forty minutes in length. Showcase films are screened in groups organized by genre or subject. A minimum of four showcases are scheduled during the festival.

Filmmakers whose work is chosen as an OFFICIAL SELECTION will be invited to attend the festival to present and discuss their work. Special consideration is given to filmmakers from Arkansas and neighboring states. Filmmakers age 18 and under are urged to submit their work to the organization's annual T Tauri Youth Film Festival, www.ttauri.org.
