Submission deadlines:
Early bird ($25/submission): Nov. 30
Regular ($35/submission): Dec. 31.
Accepting online submissions at https://filmfreeway.com/festival/PetDanceFilmFestival.

Proceeds for the festival go to the world-renown Best Friends Animal Society to help companion animals find forever homes.
