LABELING
For all submissions, include the English language title and the running time on the DVD itself. Indicate the region-coding of the disc, and if the DVD is in PAL format, print “PAL” on the disc. If submitting a work-in-progress, indicate the elements that are incomplete on the DVD.

MULTIPLE ENTRIES
You may submit more than one film, but each one must be on a separate DVD and must be accompanied by its own completed submission form and entry fee.

SHIPPING
All costs for shipping submission materials are the responsibility of the sender. Ship your DVD in a protective envelope. We recommends bubble-pack envelopes over fiber-pack envelopes as the fiber type can lead to damaged DVDs and DVD players. The "Hong Kong Best Film Awards" is not responsible for damage to submitted materials incurred in shipping.

INTERNATIONAL ENTRIES
All entries should be sent Air Mail Registered or by a parcel or express service. We cannot accept entries shipped via air-freight if customs and delivery fees have not been paid.
