Deadline to Submit Oscars Submission Forms: November 15
Thursday, November 15, is the deadline to submit Oscars Submission Forms (OSF) in the general entry categories to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for 91st Academy Awards consideration. Films will not be accepted for consideration after the deadline.
For a feature film to be considered for the 2018 Awards, the film’s distributor or producer must upload via Dropbox a scanned, signed copy of the OSF and legal billing (complete on-screen credits) or deliver a signed OSF and the film’s legal billing to the Academy’s 8949 Wilshire Boulevard office.

OSFs are accessible online only. Complete 91st Academy Awards rules can be found here.
