For filmmakers · Open year-round
Great films shouldn't sit on hard drives.
PREVO accepts short films year-round. Every genre, students and professionals alike, documentaries included. There's no entry window to wait for and no deadline to miss – send it whenever it's ready. If you made it, we want to see it.
Summer Showcase update. Entries closed July 20 and voting is open now through Sunday, August 16 – every selection is streaming on PREVO. Films submitted from here join the year-round catalogue, and catalogue films are automatically in the running for the next competition. See how voting works

Voting is open · your membership is your ballot
Already streaming on PREVO? Catalogue films were automatically in the running – every selection is live and competing now.
Why submit to PREVO
Every film is reviewed before it premieres. Your work joins a curated catalogue – not an algorithmic feed where nothing surfaces.
When your film goes live, we tag you and your cast, and cover it editorially in The Weekend Read and First Frame. The premiere reaches the people who made it.
Members vote across all five categories, with a public leaderboard through the voting window. The most-voted film in each category becomes a Nominee. Catalogue films are entered automatically – there's no separate competition entry to fill in.
Nominees go to industry judges – Spring's panel came from UTA, HarperCollins Productions, and Media Talent Group. They choose the winners and reveal them live on stream, each with the reasoning behind the pick.
And you keep your rights. Our license is royalty-free, and you keep the right to sell your film directly to your own audience.
How it works

A link to your film or the file itself, a logline, and a few details. About two minutes.

Every submission is reviewed. If it's a fit, it joins the catalogue with a premiere. We follow up within seven days.
03
When the next competition opens, members vote across the five categories, with a public leaderboard running the whole window. The top film in each becomes a Nominee.

The Nominees go to our industry panel, who select the winners across every category.
05
At the ceremony, the judges reveal their picks on stream, each with the reasoning behind it.
Submitting today? Your film joins the catalogue as soon as it's screened and premieres from there – the Summer Showcase is already in its voting window, so catalogue films submitted now are in the running for the next competition instead. Nothing extra to enter. Send us your film
What you'll need
A link to your film or the file itself · a one-line logline · runtime and year · your contact details. That's the whole form.
We review every submission and follow up within seven days. Questions? submissions@prevostreaming.com
Beyond the competition
We accept short films year-round for the general catalogue – no competition entry required, and nothing to wait for between competitions. Same curated library, same audience, same editorial coverage in The Weekend Read. Films arriving now join the catalogue rather than this summer's Showcase, which closed to entries on July 20 and is currently in its voting window.
A film link or file, a logline, and your details – the same short form.
The submission form, anytime.
Any filmmaker, any background, any genre. If it's a short film and you made it, send it.
Catalogue films are automatically entered in the next PREVO competition. No separate entry, no extra fee, nothing to remember.
No deadline. We review on a rolling basis and follow up with next steps.
I feel lucky to have Laid Bare placed next to so many bold, unique films from new creative voices. The PREVO team have curated and supported some serious emerging talent.
