MY HERO will not accept films that promote hatred, violence or intolerance. We strive to be an all-ages friendly site, so please keep that in mind when submitting a film for consideration. Work submitted to this film festival must celebrate a hero, explore concepts of heroism, or explore hero-related topics.

All footage, video graphics/pictures, and audio (including sound bites, music, etc.) MUST be original, unless you have the express written consent of the original owner for use in your work. We will not knowingly accept a movie that contains uncleared material. Films should be less than 10 minutes in length.

Please know that selected works will be featured on the MY HERO web site throughout the year. Submitting your work gives MY HERO permission to screen the work on its website, with all authors credited appropriately. You also grant MY HERO permission and rights to publish selected screenshots from your work on the MY HERO Web site and in promotional materials. You also grant MY HERO non-exclusive rights to use your film for promotional and educational outreach - including DVD's, Google Cultural Institute and some local broadcasts.

Acceptable film formats:
