The heart of the Mosquers is the film submissions

For more than a decade, we have strived to spread a message of creativity, positivity, and compassion to the general public. Films submitted to the Mosquers have made us laugh, they’ve made us cry, and most importantly, they’ve made us think.

Do you want to carry the torch?
Do you want the chance to win up to $9,000 CAD?
Do you want to be recognized for your talent?

If you said yes to any of these, submit your short film for the chance to see it premiere on the big screen at one of Edmonton’s premier film festivals! The Mosquers is always looking for visionary filmmakers who elevate the conversation and leave a lasting impact on our vast and diverse audience.

Early Bird Deadline: May 15, 2025

Regular Deadline: June 15, 2025
