Wasaga Short Film Festival

2012 Wasaga Short Film Festival Competition - Call For Entries

We are off and running………

The Second Annual Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival Officially kicks off May 01, 2012!

Film enthusiasts have virtually three seasons, a bit of spring, summer and a short sprint of fall to film your film right on the pristine shores of Wasaga Beach if you wish and enter it in competition by October 15th, 2012.

WBSFF (Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival) is currently accepting entries into its second annual edition of the Festival. All Entries that are submitted and postmarked by October 15, 2012 will be included in the 2012 festival competition.

There are no entry fees

The Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival WBSFF is unlike any other film festival, it is a unique opportunity for grass roots film enthusiasts to compete on an even playing field. The WBSFF aims to showcase the best in category short films submitted by individuals, groups, companies, teaching institutions and associations. Our film festival vision is based on capturing the imagination of film makers and actors at the grass roots level creating an opportunity for international exposure while eliminating entry barriers and providing a focus for talent, passion, capability and achievement. We hope to leverage the natural beauty of our location to inspire our participants to produce films that will promote the beauty, vibrancy, vitality and quality of life of Wasaga Beach honouring its natural ecosystems, visitors, residents and businesses.

Winning filmmakers will be honoured for their exceptional achievements and will receive awards and cash prizes.

As we develop our website and social media platform for our second annual film festival, we will keep you informed every step of the way and in particular, who to contact and where and how to submit your entry. You are also allowed to submit up to one entry per contest category provided entry terms and conditions are all satisfied.

Wasaga Beach was the first beach in North America to be recognized as a Blue Flag Beach, an international award for clean beaches. Over two million people visit the town every summer to stroll the shores of the longest freshwater beach in the world, swim in warm clean waters and enjoy the panoramic Mountain View across the Bay.

We intend to roll out the “BLUE Flag Beach” carpet to our film festival partners and participants again for our second annual Wasaga Film Festival scheduled for January 26, 2013.

Please contact us for any inquiries about, entry, sponsorship, and support for the second annual Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival.

Arts & Cultures Group Partners are welcomed to participate

We're looking for Gala Event Partners

At the first annual Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival Gala we were joined by the Wasaga Beach “The Dance Room” and “Dance by Design” dance companies. The event brought the Wasaga Beach Artists, Community Theatre and Archives Groups together as well. We are looking for more partners for the 2013 Gala Event. If you are a musician, performer, or part of a musical band, arts and culture group we would like to hear from you and learn how you can partner with us at our short film festival celebration event on January 26th, 2013. Your contribution can be a display or a part of the entertainment that will be featured as part of the Southern Georgian Bay arts and culture partners of the Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival.
