Submissions must be a direct link to a completed short horror film Submit direct streaming links to completed horror short films. Non-horror films, re-hosted horror shorts, stories read aloud, 3rd party website embeds, promotional links, and trailers/teasers will be removed.
You could submit short stories to paying markets. Only submit stories with no fee unless they are mega-famous publications. No, it is a better use of time to find awards that fit your self-published book if you want awards. Or even starting your own award is a better use of time and money. 2.
