Bring Stories to Life

Submit your project. If the Guild loves it, the world could be watching next.

1. Submit Your Project

Your submission will go through three steps:

  • Submission Review - Checked for compliance.
  • Defenders Vote - Smaller sample of Guild members choose what advances.
  • General Guild Vote - A larger sample of Guild members establish the final score.

2. Receive a Guild Score

Submissions are scored on a scale of 0-100.

Passing Guild Defenders requires a score of 50+. This advances your submission to the General Guild and waives the application fee for resubmissions.

Passing the General Guild requires a final score of 70+.

3. Potential Partnership

Submissions with a final Guild score of 70+ are eligible for, but not guaranteed, partnership.

Angel reviews each Guild approved submission and considers the Guild score, marketability, team capacity, project stage, and more before extending a contract offer.

Application Review: 3-7 days | Voting: 1-10 days (longer for kids' submissions)
