A few finalists that were submitted and accepted early have already been put online. The rest will go live when the voting begins, and presumably Atomfilms will do a big advertising push then.

When did you receive your acceptance email?
I recieved it about a week later and that was the longest week ugh! let me tell you,  The prior year Atom put me thru the ringer and even at the last second turned me down due to the running time being way to long. But in keeping a cool head and not hitting them with an angry email, they remembered me this year and put me in I believe the very last day entries were allowed. They did say they had more submissions this year than ever and loading them online would take a bit and I think thats why they extended the broadcast date.
So if you made good luck ! if for some reason they didnt except it, try and find out why if you can, I.E. subject matter, running time, or music and make the alteration and enter this coming year, Its seems Atomfilms' contest is only going to get bigger and with all the fans out there making great films, the competition is only getting better.
Best of Luck!!

hmmm. To me that seems a bit cheap. That means everybody gets plenty of time to view those early submissions and grow attached to them, whereas people only have a few days to view all the rest. Thanks for the info though.

I submitted my entry on May 27th and got my acceptance email on June 9th. . . Perhaps I was on the border/limbo/maybe area for a while? That gave me little time to collect and finish all the paperworks. (Getting all the release forms together was a nail biter again.) Now I am tensely waiting for the confirmation that all the paperworks are in order. Or am I? Would they send confirmation email or will I just find out on July 1st? The suspense doesn't end with this contest. . .

I don't watch any of the submissions until all are up. Of course, I don't make much of a difference, but meh.

Well, I presume that if we haven't heard anything by now, then that's a sign our film wasn't accepted. Best of luck to everyone in the competition.

I still haven't heard back either.  I shall resist the urge to fire off an angry e-mail to atomfilms. Anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering. Or something like that....

Is that why your icon looks so miserable?  Good luck to all. I'll be in LA when the finalists go up, but I'll check after my vacation.

I chose that avatar because I met Richard LePeramentier (Motti) at CIV and he was really nice. His son was nice too. Did you know he used to be married to Ursula from Superman II? They are divorced now.

That's cool. I posted my video, The Closet Unleashed on YouTube, and have created a new thread for it in the Fan Film section. Enjoy.

really ? what a shame, when I got the email that was in or being considered last year, they sent me an email from contacts Dan or Kate. Thats who got my film again this year and becuase I asked her last year as too why they turned it down, they politely said becuase their running time was a preffered 5 minutes in lenght, but Contract was 16:28 and that would've put them over the limit,. as it stands, I cut out a significant amount of material out and made it as streamlined as I could while still retaining its story arc. Also adding a higher res footage and retooling the soundtrack as to not over do Duel of the Fates.
thats why I thought if you sent it in and it was approved then you wouldv'e had an email from one of the show content co-ordinators, Also they may be just so busy at this piont getting ready for the show that they can't answer anything not related to the actual event. 
wait a bit and try again later after the show airs, than perhaps you may get the answer you are looking for,
again, I really feel for anyone who tried to get in and didnt make it, last year I felt so upset, but trying to look at the brightside I figured I'd try again. but who knows, as they say, all things happen for a reason.
Good Luck everyone, and I really mean that, to Mike Scott, to even the shortest film entry, you never know what George and the Atomfilms team may or may not like. its always up for grabs and anyone here has a great chance.

Yep.
It took a while for the Viacom buyout to fully ruin Atomfilms, but the day has finally come.
It's especially sad that they added a whole lot of crunk which is clearly intended to try to turn Atom into another "social networking site" because bizness people nowadays think the key to success is to turn everything into Facebook.
