Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: April 12, 2023

By submitting my film, I agree to NZYFF’s rules and policies. In the event that I am nominated, I give permission to NZYFF to use an image of me and my team for its publicity in perpetuity. I also give permission to NZYFF to screen my film on its website and at its events, including at its annual festival and ancillary programmes. I understand that NZYFF does not guarantee that my film will be nominated or that it will win an award. I hold it and its management, agents, sponsors, and affiliates harmless from any and all claims of liability resulting from my entry. I own or have authorisation to all necessary copyrights, intellectual property rights and licenses in relation to my film as declared in the “Copyright Declaration”. I indemnify NZYFF for all liability it may suffer as a result of any claims made against it by any person that the film and/or NZYFF’s use of it breaches their intellectual property rights. On request, I will supply NZYFF with copies of such licenses and with copies of signed talent (actors/actresses) releases. If I am under 18 years of age, my parent/guardian consents and approves of my entry. I declare that the film I am submitting is a film that I have created as either its Director or Producer and own the rights to and am authorised to submit. I am also of the age that was declared in this submission. If nominated for an award I agree to be bound by NZYFF’s Nominee Terms and Conditions and confirm that I will be able to supply the full, original film as a soft copy in a digital format (.mp4/.mov). I understand that I may be disqualified if I am unable to supply the original film, am found to have supplied false information, or have violated any other part of this agreement.
