EnglishHow to Submit Your Film or Screenplay to WILDsound Festival TV
Updated
WILDsound Festival TV accepts films, screenplays, novels, short stories, and poetry for its daily festival programming, and the submission entry point is the Submit link in the site's main navigation. The site's own description confirms the range of accepted work: it showcases "independent films, original screenplay, novel, short story, and poetry readings spanning all genres." If your work fits one of those categories, start at the Submit page rather than browsing the video library, which is organized for viewers, not submitters.
What you can submit
Based on the site's stated content scope, submissions fall into two broad groups:
Screen-based work
- Short films
- Feature films
Written and performance-based work
- Original screenplays
- Novels
- Short stories
- Poetry (presented as readings)
The video library on the site is organized by genre, which gives you a sense of where accepted films end up. Categories visible on the site include Action, Animation, Black & White, Comedy, Crime/Mystery, Dance, Drama, Documentary, Environment, Experimental, Horror, LGBTQ+, Music, Romance, Political, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy. There are also dedicated collections for "SHORT & FEATURE FILMS - Newly Posted" and "2026 Festival Audience Feedback Videos," which suggests accepted work is grouped both by genre and by posting date.
How to find the submission process
- Go to wildsound.ca.
- Locate Submit in the top navigation, alongside Browse, Search, Podcast, Press, and Today's Film Festival.
- Open the Submit page to see the current guidelines, accepted formats, deadlines, and any fees.
The homepage evidence does not include the contents of the Submit page itself, so the specific requirements — file formats, length limits, entry fees, and deadlines — are not documented here. Treat the Submit page as the authoritative source and read it before preparing your materials.
What to prepare before you submit
Because the site accepts both films and written work, the materials differ by type:
| Submission type | What you likely need |
|---|---|
| Short or feature film | A viewable copy of the finished film, plus basic title and credit information |
| Screenplay | The script file in a standard document format |
| Novel / short story | The manuscript or excerpt as specified on the Submit page |
| Poetry | The poem text, since the site presents poetry as readings |
Confirm the exact formats and any length or eligibility rules on the Submit page, since those details are not part of the public homepage content.
What happens after acceptance
Accepted work appears in the site's festival programming, which the site describes as "a unique film festival every single day of the week." Films are sorted into genre collections, and the "2026 Festival Audience Feedback Videos" collection indicates that at least some selections receive audience feedback videos — a form of response or review attached to the work.
This matters if you are submitting partly for exposure or feedback rather than only for viewing. The feedback format is specific to WILDsound's model and is worth checking on the Submit page if it is your reason for entering.
Common points to check before submitting
- Confirm the category. The site separates films from screenplays, novels, short stories, and poetry. Submitting to the wrong track wastes time.
- Check whether fees apply. The homepage shows a subscription price for viewers ($4.99/month after a 3-day free trial), but that is a viewing subscription, not a submission fee. Do not assume submission is free or paid based on the subscription price — verify on the Submit page.
- Read the genre list as a hint, not a rule. The genre collections show what has been programmed, but they are not necessarily the only categories open to submission.
- Use the site's own channels for updates. The navigation includes Press and a Podcast, and the footer links to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Bluesky, which the site uses for announcements.
If your goal is simply to watch rather than submit, the Browse and Search links plus the genre collections are the faster route. If your goal is to be featured, the Submit page is the only reliable starting point, and its current guidelines should be your final reference before sending anything in.
