Submissions must be a screendance piece, created specifically for film or video, or a staged work recreated for the camera. We are also accepting short dance-related documentaries. Please note that these submissions are not to be performance documentations. A small cash prize for the Jury’s Choice will be awarded.

• Only Region 1 or All Region DVD formats, and working web links will be accepted. More important information about screening formats is available at dance.utah.edu/screendancefest2013

• There is no submission fee.
• Length of the work must not exceed 15 minutes.
