LOOK FOR MERIT AND RECOGNITION AWARDS IN THE NEXT 2 ROUNDS (Please Check Your Email for Notification.)

Our mission is to help Filmmakers, serving you is our top priority.

"Take the Metro."  That's something often heard everyday, across the globe in cities like Boston, Chicago, LA, London, New York, Sydney, and Vancouver.  A Metro is a system that helps people get from a starting point to an endpoint -- it's a method to reach one's goals.  And much like a fast moving train, The Metro Film & TV Awards help Filmmakers reach their goals by way of direct opportunities for recognition and publicity of high quality films and new media.

The Metro Film & TV Awards is not a traditional Festival or Competition.

Metro has established itself as a uniquely positioned organization that offers a filmmaker worldwide exposure through awards, promotion, screenings, and distribution. Metro's mission is to help filmmakers who create outstanding entertainment achieve the positive publicity and credibility they deserve.

The Metro Film & TV Awards is an International competition that seeks out unique content of all Genres and types, including new-media. Metro discovers and honors those who produce high quality work.

Metro supports filmmakers during the season and long after a nomination or win. It promotes it's Nominees, Official Selections and Award winners through social networking, websites, and Android Apps. Additionally, Metro may stream trailers/promo-videos to publicize the Festival and its participants by means of Connected TV (CTV) channels (Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Smart TV.) The current reach is to an audience of over 425,000 subscribers.

Optional Distribution.

An opportunity for Distribution is offered through Metro's distribution partners. After a work has been submitted, and only (if) a filmmaker is interested, then Metro will consider the content for non-exclusive Distribution through one or more well established connected television platforms.

The audience reach for Metro distribution partners is predicted to be 1 Million in 2019. To be clear, this is an optional part of the Metro experience that is a merit based negotiation. If ready for distribution or CTV presence now, Email Metro, or phone and leave a voice-message (U.S.)

Online Distribution.

A filmmaker may submit Youtube content without negotiation or entering the Festival. Visit Metro on Youtube to easily add video to the Playlist, and if it has favourable ratings or total views, Metro will automatically add it to the "Movies Plus TV" Youtube-Android app.

A Success Story.

Alexander Pimentel, Director of "Down River" streamed his feature film on Metro's distribution partner "Movies Plus" on Amazon Fire TV.  After 6 months and 70,000 downloads, Alex shared the news with a Venture capitalist who agreed to finance Alex's next feature film.  Read the article at this link.

Where the filmmakers are from, and how do they get here.

The Metro TV & Film Awards are International in scope and support content from across the globe, and from every distribution-territory.  Getting on the Metro radar usually happens in one of three ways.

1.) Filmmakers find us through an Android App, Connected Television Channel (CTV) -- Internet, or word of mouth.  

2.) The Metro staff discovers a film on the Internet or at any number of Film Festivals.  

3.) A fan may choose to Nominate their favorite film/show through this website or social media.

What kind of media.

The Metro Film & TV Awards are an excellent venue for film, new and experimental media, television programs, TV Pilots, animation, educational programs, remixes & mashups, movie trailers, music videos, web TV programs and webisodes, featurettes and works in progress.

A content's Release Window(s) is not a determining factor for consideration in the Festival.  Metro aims to encourage filmmakers, rather than looking for methods of exclusion -- however, a Venue or Distribution partner may have limitations on nudity, graphic violence, and adult-language.

Judging and Award Levels.

Metro celebrates quality and creativity in several levels of awards including the Heart of Gold Awards, the Audience Choice Awards, The Best of Show, Excellence in Film, Special Mention, Films of Merit, and Special Recognition.

All Award Levels are curated by the Festival Director and additionally judged by seasoned professionals. Outside judges are appointed for review as needed. The Festival Director assures consistency among judges and the overall direction of the Festival.

Entries do not compete against each other. Instead, entries are judged against a high standard of merit and are scored using a point system.

A monthly and annual competition, no fixed number of awards are granted at any level but rather fluctuate based on the total number of entries received for each competition deadline. Next season's Best of Show winner will receive the prestigious Metro Statuette, and monthly participants may contact our team to order their Statuette or Plaque and pay the production and shipping costs. More...

Notification.

Each submission received through The Metro Film & TV Awards website or any Metro film portal will be contacted via electronic mail to confirm entry.

The judges "result-letters" will be sent by email to all participants about two to six weeks after Judges have made their final decisions.

All participants are provided the opportunity to acquire statuettes, plaques, gold labels, and other keepsakes to commemorate their achievement.
