LINK TO THE PERFORMER RELEASE:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ciJuM3dqyS1QvOsTK6vll0nvrZq1gdbg/view?usp=sharing
1. Create a KATSO account (or log in if you already have one).
2. Upload your film directly through your creator dashboard, agree to the terms, and then go the the festival page and enter your film.
3. Your film goes live for KATSOMANIA pass holders, premium members and VIP during the festival window.
4. Once entered, your film will become premium on the KATSO Platform until the end of the festival AUG 30th. Only premium KATSO members and VIP (judges) get early access.
Your film will also be able to monetize any ala carte sales and premium member pool split during that time. After the fest ends you can choose to make it free or keep it premium.
5. The KATSO team and our top-tier members and VIP (Curators and Judges) score every entry. The Selected Films will stream to pass holders on KATSO AUG 29-30th, 2026
6. The creator of a selected film will get a free pass to watch and vote in the audience award of this festival.
7. Winners are announced AUGUST 30TH, 2026.
No FilmFreeway account, no third party uploader, no waiting around for a jury committee at a cultural center overseas. Your film goes straight onto KATSO ready to win real Awards
**Accepted entries go premium automatically — only KATSO premium members and festival pass-holders can watch until the festival ends, and you earn the whole time it's featured through Creator Premium's 70/30 split in your favor. Once the festival ends, it's your call: leave it premium to keep earning, or switch it to free to watch. Want your film to only show during the festival window and judging? Set your drop date to 8/26/2026 and remove it after the festival ends on 8/31/2026.
