Can teams sign up for more than one category?

• Should a team participate in more than one category, the same storyline cannot be repeated.

How many entry forms should I submit if I’m sending more than one team?

• Kindly submit one entry form per team.
• E.g. if School A is sending 2 teams for Open Category and 1 team for Short Films category, School A should submit a total of 3 entry forms.
