Free Listing and 10% Commission Policy
Festival organizers can list and promote their festivals on FestSubmit for free. Free festivals pay nothing. If a festival accepts paid submissions through FestSubmit, the platform commission is 10% of paid submission fees. Payment provider charges, such as Stripe or PayPal fees, are separate.
This simple structure makes FestSubmit attractive for early-stage festivals, student film festivals and independent events that need visibility without high listing costs.
