Volunteer as a Screener or Juror


Screeners
We need volunteers to screen film submissions to ensure they meet submission guidelines.  Screen as many or few entries as they like at your own pace. Plan to screen a minimum of 10 short films and 1 feature film, dedicating approximately 6 to 8 hours in total between July 3rd and July 27th, 2025. All screenings are completed online.


Juror
Judge and rate films for final recognition.  Experience or current status in one of the following areas is required: filmmaker, film and entertainment industry experience, journalist, film festival founder or director, educator (primary school or university film programs), media critic, science fiction expert (describe your qualifications).  Your experience does not need to be directly within Science Fiction but you should be a fan of the genre.  Jurors must be available to screen films online between August 1st and August 29th, 2025.  The total time commitment is 6 to 8 hours over three weeks.
