  • The title sequence can stand alone, and does not have to be related to a feature or short film submitted to the film festival.

  • All title design submissions must be less than 10 minutes in length.

  • SXSW does NOT place any restrictions on the premiere status of title design entries.

  • Your title design must have been completed in 2018, 2019 or be on track for completion in early 2020.
