How can I officially register my award for my short film?
I tried to register my short film as a winner at a festival on IMDB a few days ago. I got a link from the festival for that. Unfortunately, my short film "Findings" could not be found during registration, although it is listed on IMDB. So I saved the registration for later and got a tracking number. Now I can't find my way back to the registration. So I have two questions: How do I find the registration of my award and what can I do if my film is already entered into the system but does not appear among the suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and best Wishes!

Kristina: I'm assuming your film is Findings (2023) at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27953220/.
First, if you saved your data submission of the award, go to https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history/ and look to see if you have any saved updates there. If you have the saved update there, click on the reference number and you will be able to continue editing it.
To answer your second question, when you submit your film in the awards listings for the festival, enter it either as Findings (2023) with the year in parentheses after the title to give the official IMDb title of the film, or tt27953220 which is the title constant for the film and will be automatically converted into the official IMDb title. (I'm not sure why your film could not be found by title alone, as there are only three other entries on IMDb with that exact title, but if you follow the instructions in the previous sentence you can avoid the problem.)
I hope this helps. Good luck!
