About Missoula, Montana’s Audience Awards – Every film deserves an audience.

Our goal is to spur your short films and filmmaking career into action. The film festival world is great, but once a short film has traveled the circuit, it’s rare that an audience has an opportunity to see your work. It’s time to bring a larger audience to short films and for us to continually celebrate and support filmmakers. The Audience Awards hosts regularly occurring short film competitions where the film with the most votes wins. If you are a filmmaker and have a short film, you can submit your film to compete at The Audience Awards to gain exposure and audience and win cash. Not only do we want to promote your short films, we want to promote you. We accomplish this through our filmmaker profile pages where the audience can read about you, screen some of your work, participate in an online Q & A with you and buy you a cup of coffee or give you money for your next project. Unlike Kickstarter, we are not project specific. We are building a filmmaking community made of filmmakers and the audience who love them and want to support your work.
