60 Seconds or Less Video Festival

60 Seconds or Less...and now more!

We're introducing a new category! We thought it seemed clear that we only accepted entries that were 60 seconds or less...but last year some of you insisted on entering longer entries...and they were great! So we're adding a new category, Short Films, for entries that are longer than 60 seconds, but no longer than 30 minutes. And of course we'll continue to showcase great works that are 60 seconds or less!!

The 60 Seconds or Less Video Festival embraces short-form videos in all genres. Sponsored by Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland the festival offers awards and screening opportunities for an international audience.
