As part of our Creative Expo, ShaoCon proudly accepts entries on FilmFreeway, the world's #1 way to enter film festivals and creative contests.

ALL THINGS CREATIVE!

We're not just talking about Sci-Fi, Fantasy, & Horror flicks; we welcome any film, short, video game, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, 360 Immersive Feature, or Theatrical Production that throws a Hadouken at the mundane slice-of-life genre. Bring us your Mysteries, Thrillers, Film Noirs, Comedies, Slip Stream/Magical Realism, Asian influenced action & stunt epics, Surrealistic journeys, (some) dramas, and all sorts of animated shorts. We’re looking for your best and most creative narrative shorts, documentaries, and features that can deliver a roundhouse kick to the senses.
