Your film must focus on an American historical subject, issue, or person within a time frame occurring at least twenty years prior to submission (prior to 2006) and must present a variety of perspectives grounded in extensive and thorough research. The majority of the film must be historically focused to qualify. We invite submissions employing a broad range of storytelling devices and archival materials, which should be integral to the story. Short films are ineligible. Submissions must follow journalistic standards and consider multiple perspectives. Industrial, promotional, 'advertorial', advocacy, and instructional films are ineligible. No product placement or paid messaging is permitted. If a submission uses AI, the project must identify when and where AI is used and adhere to the Archival Producers Alliance's Best Practices for Use of Generative AI.
