*Web Series World Cup Participant!*
Are you ready for the New Jersey's first web festival that has taken the world by storm?! Just ten days after our first festival took place, we became ranked one of FilmFreeway's Best-Reviewed Festivals -- and we've continued to get bigger and better! Thanks to all the creators who took time to leave thoughtful reviews! We are #AllAboutTheCreators, and they clearly felt it! Just read the reviews and see for yourself.
We are excited to be entering our third year! Submissions from all over the world, and from every genre, are welcome. Quality is the only criteria: we want to showcase the very best.
We accept webseries, pilots, trailers, music videos, and fiction podcasts so that all digital creators can experience the #JerseyMagic!
***** Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we extended our submission deadline to April 2021, and postponed our festival until September 2021. We chose Early Selections in July 2020, and everyone who submits now will find out when we announce Final Selections in May 2021. Stay safe everyone!
Those who attend will be treated to a screening of their show in beautiful Montclair, NJ, at the Clairidge Theater, the premiere art house in the northeast, and will have the opportunity to network and mingle with industry powerhouses, special guests, and fellow creators. Workshops, panels, and parties will of course be part of the festivities!
And our Awards Event is a beautiful gala with gourmet food, unlimited drinks, dessert, entertainment -- first-class all the way. Check out the pics, and follow our social media for videos from the events. You've never been to a festival like the #NJWebFest.
