Adding Film Festival Awards

I added a bunch of my Film Festival Awards on IMDB, but none of them appeared after a week, and then I did research and found out that you had to enter them through the EVENT PAGE. So, I started from scratch on the Event Page, and I was able to find two of the film festivals on this event page and so I entered two of my wins.  HOWEVER, I could not find 4 other film festivals to enter 4 of my other award wins.  The Festivals I could not find are: Venice Shorts, Vegas Shorts, Symbiotic Film Festival, and Amsterdam Short  Film Festival.  These 4 Festivals are on Film Freeway.  Please advise how I can enter these other film Festival Awards of mine on IMDB.

Hi steven_ciceron-

I have reviewed the information for the other 4 events you were not able to find and it's correct, they are not yet listed on the Event page. Now, for the Venice Shorts, we have listed these 2 event pages: Venice Shorts Film Awards and Venice Short Film Festival. If any of these are the "Venice Shorts" you've mentioned, you are welcome to add the award through the respective event page.

However, if the Venice Shorts festival is different and for the other 3 film festivals that are not yet listed on the main Event page on IMDb, you are welcome to submit a request to add these events via our online Contact form.

For more detailed information on how to add new events and the new event eligibility criteria, I encourage you to review our following Help Guide. In this other one, you will also find general information on Awards.

I hope this helps and let us know if you have any further questions/issues!

Cheers!

Thank you so much Maya. I will check in to this.  In the meantime, do you know when the two Awards that I successfully entered will appear on IMDB. They were: Halicarnassus Film Festival Contribution # 220506-221054-985000 AND Iconic Images Film Festival Contribution # 2290506-223300-111000,  Best, Steven Ciceron

@steven_ciceron​ Hi-

Thank you for posting the submission reference numbers! I have reviewed both of them and I can confirm that they have been approved. The changes are already live on both the title page and the name page.

Cheers!

Thanks so much.  The two other wins I have cannot be used becasue the Film Festivals are in existance less than 5 years. Can I try adding them in a couple of years when those film Festivals will be in existance longer to meet the criteria?  AND I have one other nomination to add and the Festival is in the Events Page....but I need your opinion.....do you think listing nominations and not wins on IMDB makes me look like a loser and I should just forget it?

@steven_ciceron​ Yes, as long as the Film Festivals meet all the criteria on our guidelines for submitting events not yet listed, you are welcome to submit them once they've been established for more than 5 years. In the meantime, you can submit these nominations or wins for these events on the Trivia section for your IMDb name page.

In regards to the nominations, whether you are listed as a winner or as a nominee, adding a nomination to the site is very common and often worth the recognition. For some examples, whether it is a movie, a series or a person, nominations are also recognized. 

I hope this helps!
