Judges Needed for the 57th Michigan Student Film Festival!

Round 1 judging options:

• Early-Bird 7-Day Online Judging (at your own pace): March 22 - 28, 2026
• Online 4-Day Judging with a virtual team (at your own pace): March 28-31, 2026

Registered judges will be sent links of assigned entries to review anytime over that four-day period. We are hoping that all judges will be able to supply substantive feedback in the forms we'll provide--enabling our next round of judges vital info.

• Round 2 in-person judging  (8:30 AM - 3 PM) tentatively Saturday April 4, 2026 and will involve more detailed viewing and discussion of the finalists from Round 1.

Interested? Complete the very quick survey at this link to let us know how many entries you can comfortably handle over the span of days (normally you'd be watching 15-25 entries in Round 1).
