VISIONS VIRTUAL CEREMONY ON MAY 5TH at 8PM

Q: Who judges Visions?
A: Judges are alumni of the FMA program and working professionals that are friends of our program.

Q: What if I want to submit a project made outside of classes?
A: If it was created while you are a student in the program, it is likely eligible, however it is advised to contact Prof Brannon to be sure.

Q: I missed a deadline, can I still submit?
A: We try to adhere to deadlines to make things smooth for our judges, however you can always reach out to Prof Brannon to see if an extension is possible. Extensions have happened, depending on circumstances.

Q: What if I am unsure of what category to submit to?
A: You can always ask, but you are welcome to decide where you think you fit best. Our judges do reserve the right to recommend projects are moved to a more appropriate category if they feel it doesn’t fit the submitted category.

Q: Can I submit a Graduate Thesis project in multiple categories ( for example, you’ve produced a documentary and would like to submit it also for the Grad Doc category).
A: No. Graduate Thesis projects are expected to be in a category unto themselves. However, by design the category of Graduate Thesis is designed for video projects, usually in the form of a narrative or documentary. So if you have a thesis project that is other than those, such as a webseries, experimental film, installation, multimedia project, or script, you may request an exception to submit to another category. Contact Prof Brannon to get permission.
