Q: I want to enter. What's the first step?

A: Read the Handbook!

It's a PDF file that will open on just about any computer or mobile device and can easily be printed.

It contains the Official Rules for Entry and a list of this year's Award Categories. READ IT!

Q: If I have a longer show do I have to submit "three clips" or can I submit the whole program?

A: If you're uploading your program online the submission must be 20 minutes or less. We suggest the option to select three 5-minute clips so you can direct the judges to the most significant parts.

If you're mailing your entry on a DVD you can submit the whole program, but Best of the NW organizers reserve the option to supply the judges with three 5-minute clips on your behalf. Needless to say, it's highly recommended that you select those three parts yourself.

Q: If I submit multiple programs (or one program to multiple categories) how much do I pay?

A: You pay one entry fee for each program, in each category. Our online payment system makes it easy to pay for multiple entries.
