Vote for Films

DC Shorts has always presented a fair number of awards. This year, we have expanded our competitions to offer more awards with incredible prizes of cash and products.

After each screening, YOU CHOOSE your favorite film and vote using the first phone-based ballot system used by a film festival. Each film has a special 4-digit code (such as 5874). After the films have ended, a phone number will appear on screen. Call in, punch the code of your top film and your vote is counted! One winner from each of the nine showcases will be awarded a framed certificate, and a chance to play during the Best of DC Shorts screenings on the closing day (September 18).
