DIGITAL ENTRIES:

Sound On Screen is now also allowing on-line submissions.
Where the DVD submissions have NO entry fee, for on-line submissions the bandwidth download cost and resulting added bulk of entries (which the judges will have to assess) has a $10us fee attached (which is about the same cost as postage to send physical DVDs with no entry fee). Payments can be made via PayPal. Contact us for on-line submission approval.
