During its 7th edition - it's most successful ever - GLIMMER screened in excess of 200 films, more than 50 of which were premieres, from across the world and awarded more than £2000 of prize money to filmmakers.Presenting a diverse selection of films, including dramas, documentaries, artists film and video and animation, the selected films for the 2010 edition will be eligible for such awards as the Glimmer International Award, Glimmer UK Award and Glimmer Yorkshire Award all of which will, once again, come with cash prizes for the winning filmmakers.
Submitted films must be under 45 minutes long and made after 1st January 2008. Aside from these restrictions, GLIMMER encourages people to send in films of all types and genres. GLIMMER also welcomes music video submissions.
Once again, GLIMMER will allow filmmakers to choose how much they wish to pay in submission fees (if, indeed, they want to pay anything at all). After the huge success of the scheme last year it is hoped that unique system of entry fees will continue to encourage people to enter their films into the festival.

After our huge success last year, we look forward to welcoming the newest and most exciting films from all corners of the globe.
