Note About Submission Fees
Sea Slug seeks to eliminate submission fees as a common form of festival income. Our 2026 submission fees are priced at $5 USD to reduce thoughtless spamming. However, any and all interested filmmakers are welcome to simply contact us to receive a waiver code for your submission fee—guaranteed. Our goal is to receive no money from filmmakers! Any submission fees we receive incidentally will be reimbursed.
Screening Fees
In an effort to value the labor of artists and increase the sustainability of art as a career, Sea Slug will pay all short films accepted to the 2026 Sea Slug Animation Festival program a $75 USD screening fee.
