# Your festival entries > From FilmScorecard Help: https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-festival-entries The **Festivals** tab of a project in [Your projects](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-projects.md) lists every festival entry in that project as a table: where each entry stands, its scorecard and the festival's next date. This guide covers the table, the entry panel, adding an entry with its access code, moving entries to another project, and the project's **Scorecards** tab. The tab opens under the heading **Festivals**, with one line: > Entries for *Project* at festivals that judge on FilmScorecard. Status and > dates come from each festival. An entry arrives by itself when the festival has the address your account logs in with; see [Saving a submission to your account](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/saving-a-submission-to-your-account.md). One you entered with a different address can be added with its access code; see [Adding an entry with its access code](#adding-an-entry-with-its-access-code). **No judge is ever named here.** The tab shows how many judges filed a scorecard and, once a category is unlocked, its score, but never who the judges were. What they wrote is on your scorecard. ## Reading the table Each row is one entry, with these columns: - **Entry**: the festival's name, which opens [the entry panel](#the-entry-panel), and under it the season and the entry's `SUB-` number: "Fall 2026, SUB-04213". - **Category**: every category the entry competes in, in one pill. - **Status**: see [The status pill](#the-status-pill). - **Scorecard**: see [The Scorecard column](#the-scorecard-column). - **Next date**: see [Next date](#next-date). - **⋯**, at the end of the row, with two choices: **Open entry**, which opens the entry panel, and [Move to another project](#moving-an-entry-to-another-project). Left of the Entry column, each row shows its number. It turns into a checkbox when you point at the row, for choosing several entries at once; on a phone the checkbox is always there. **On a narrow screen the table scrolls sideways.** The header row stays at the top, and the checkbox and Entry columns stay pinned on the left, so you always know which entry a row is. ### The status pill | The pill | When it shows | | --- | --- | | **In consideration** | Until the day the festival has set as its **Notification date**, counted in the festival's own time zone. **If the festival has set no such date, the pill stays here.** It also stays here after that day for an entry the festival has not yet decided on. | | **Selected** (green) | From that day, if the festival selected the entry. | | **Not selected** (grey) | From that day, if the festival did not select it, or disqualified it. | | **Award winner** (green) | From the day the festival has set as **Award winners announced**, if the entry won one of the season's awards or was given an honorable mention. It takes the place of whichever pill above the entry would otherwise show. | | **Withdrawn** (grey) | As soon as the entry is withdrawn, whatever the date. It is never replaced by Award winner. | **The pill waits for the announcement on purpose.** A festival can decide its selections and its awards long before it announces them, and the pill does not tell you early. These are the same dates your page waits for before a festival's result appears in its **Laurels** block. See [The two dates](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/public-page.md#the-two-dates). **A nomination or a finalist place is not Award winner.** Only a win or an honorable mention turns the pill. A nominee, finalist, semi-finalist or quarter-finalist keeps the pill it had, and the standing shows as a laurel in your page's **Laurels** block and in [the bell](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-notifications.md#updates). ### The Scorecard column | The column reads | When | | --- | --- | | **Not yet** | The festival has not released your scorecard. Not every festival releases scorecards at all. | | **Held, 3 judges** | Released, and the category's scorecard is still locked. The number is how many judges filed one. | | **Open, 8.6 / 10** | Released and unlocked: the category's score on the festival's ten-point scale. | | **No scores** | Released, but there is no score to show. | | **2 scorecards** | The entry competes in more than one category, so it has a scorecard for each. The [Scorecards tab](#the-scorecards-tab) lists them one by one. | ### Next date The festival's next announcement still to come, as a date with a word under it: - **Results**: the festival's **Notification date**, while it is still ahead. - **Awards**: otherwise, the festival's **Award winners announced** date, while that is still ahead. The dates are read in the festival's own time zone. When neither is still ahead, or the festival has set neither, the column reads **None scheduled**. ## Finding an entry Above the table sit a search field, the **Status** filter and [Add an entry](#adding-an-entry-with-its-access-code). Everything here works at once, on the entries already on screen. - **Search**, "Search 3 entries", matches the festival's name, the season and the `SUB-` number. **Esc** or the **✕** in the field clears it. - **Status** lists the five statuses in the order an entry moves through them — In consideration, Selected, Award winner, Not selected, Withdrawn — each with how many of your entries have it. Tick as many as you like; the list stays open while you pick. **Select all** ticks or clears all five, and **Clear** clears them. The button reads **Any status**, the one status you ticked, or "2 selected". - **Clear filters** appears once a search or a status is set, and clears both. **Sorting.** Choose a column's heading to sort by it, and choose it again to reverse. The table starts on **Next date, soonest first**. Entries with no next date go last whichever way it runs. **Status** sorts in the filter's order; the other columns sort A to Z. The line under the table says how many entries are showing, what they are filtered by, and how they are sorted: "1 of 3 entries, status Selected, matching "north". Sorted by next date, soonest first." When nothing matches, the table gives way to a line naming the search or the status, such as `No entry matches "north"`, with "Clear the filters to see all 3 entries." and a **Clear filters** button. ## The entry panel Choose a festival's name, or **⋯** then **Open entry**, and the entry opens in a panel on the right. The table stays in view behind it, with the open entry's name underlined. **✕**, **Esc** or a click outside the panel closes it. At the top: **Festival entry**, the festival's name, and the season, categories and `SUB-` number. Then: - **The status pill and one line about it**: "Official Selection, announced 3 Oct 2026." for a selected entry or an award winner; "Not selected, announced 3 Oct 2026."; "In consideration. Results 7 Nov 2026." while the festival's Notification date is still ahead, and plain "In consideration." otherwise; or "Withdrawn." - **Festival run**: the entry's dates, oldest first — **Entry received**, **Scorecard released**, **Notification date** and **Award winners announced** — each one only when there is a date for it. A date still to come is marked **Upcoming**. - **What the festival holds**: "The copy you sent on 3 Jul 2026: title, synopsis, credits and press kit. Changes to your project do not reach it." While the festival's submission page is still open for edits, the button [Copy current details into this entry](#copying-your-projects-details-into-an-entry) sits under it, with "Offered while judging is open. It closes when results are announced." Once the page has closed, it reads "Judging has closed, so this copy is final." - **Linked**: - **Scorecard**, with the same words as the [Scorecard column](#the-scorecard-column) and, once the festival has released it, **Open**. That opens your scorecard straight away, with no access code, because you are signed in to the account the submission is saved to. See [Your scorecard](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-scorecard.md). - **Submission page**, with **Open**. It opens the overview of your submission to that festival, again with no code. Its tiles lead to **Submission details**, where you correct your entry while edits are open, **Questions for judges**, your scorecard and how the festival judges, and, unless the festival has no contact address, **Contact the festival**. Once edits close, the Submission details tile says so. See [Your submission page](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-submission-page.md). - **Move to another project**, at the foot. See [Moving an entry to another project](#moving-an-entry-to-another-project). If the entry has left this project in the meantime, the panel reads "This entry is no longer on the list." If it cannot be read at all, the panel closes and a message says "That entry could not be opened. Try again." ### Copying your project's details into an entry The festival judges the copy you sent when you entered. If you have improved your project's **Details** since — a better synopsis, a new poster, more credits — you can send those to the festival's copy while its submission page is open. Saving on Details never does this by itself. See [Your project's details](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/project-details.md). 1. In the entry panel, choose **Copy current details into this entry**. 2. If your project and the festival's copy already agree, the button changes to **This entry already matches your project**, and nothing is sent. 3. Otherwise a dialog of the same name lists **only the fields that would change**. Each shows the festival's current value, under the festival's name, beside **Your project**'s. A field the festival holds nothing for shows "—"; a poster shows "Poster on file" beside "Your project's poster". 4. Choose **Copy into this entry**. It reads **Copying…** while it works, then a message names what was sent: "Sent your synopsis and poster to Riverbend Film Festival". What it copies, and what it does not: - **Up to eight fields**: the same eight a festival can be sent from the bell, which take their values from your project's **Details** in the same way: your **Logline** is sent as the festival's Tagline, and the directors, writers, producers and cast come from your **Credits**. See [The eight fields](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-notifications.md#the-eight-fields). - **The title and runtime are never copied.** The dialog says so at its foot: "The festival keeps the title and runtime you entered with." - **A field your project has nothing in is left alone.** Nothing on the festival's copy is ever emptied. - **It counts as one edit by you** on the festival's record, just like a send from the bell. If it cannot be done: | The message | What it means | | --- | --- | | "Judging has closed, so this copy is final." | The festival's submission page has closed. Nothing is sent, and the panel switches to that line. | | "This entry changed while the list was open. Check it and copy again." | One of the values in the dialog changed before you confirmed, perhaps because the festival corrected its copy. Nothing is sent. Close the dialog and start again. | | "That did not send. Try again." | Something went wrong on the way. Nothing is sent. | | "That did not save. Try again." | The check before the dialog went wrong. Choose the button again. | | "This project is no longer available." | The project or the entry is no longer yours. Reload the page. | ## Adding an entry with its access code An entry the festival holds under a different address does not arrive by itself. Add it with the access code from the festival's email: 1. Choose **Add an entry**, above the table or in the empty tab. 2. Type the code into **Access code**. Spaces and capitals do not matter. 3. Choose **Add entry**. It reads **Adding…** while it works. 4. The dialog closes, a message says "Entry added to this project.", and the entry appears in the table. **The entry joins the project you added it from**, whatever its title. Move it afterwards if it belongs somewhere else. If the entry cannot be added, a line under the field says why: | The message | What it means | | --- | --- | | "That code does not match an entry. Check the code in the festival's email." | No entry has that code. A code that has expired gets the same answer. | | "This entry is already on *Project*." | The entry is already in one of your projects. Use [Move to another project](#moving-an-entry-to-another-project) instead. | | "This entry is already saved to another account." | Somebody else's account holds the entry. | | "Too many tries. Try again in an hour." | Five codes in the last hour did not match. Every try is refused, even the right code, until an hour has passed. | ## Moving an entry to another project Entries arrive in projects by title. When one lands in the wrong project, or you want it on a project of its own, move it. There are four ways in: - **⋯** on the entry's row, then **Move to another project**; - **Move to another project** at the foot of the [entry panel](#the-entry-panel); - **several at once**: tick their rows, and a bar appears at the foot of the screen with "2 selected", **Clear selection** and **Move to another project**. The checkbox in the header row ticks every entry showing. A new search or status filter clears what you ticked; - **Move** on an entry's "joined" update in [the bell](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-notifications.md#updates). Then: 1. A dialog headed **Move to another project**, with the festival's name under it (every festival's, when you are moving several), lists every other project you own, A to Z, and under them **A new project from this submission**. The first one is chosen to begin with. 2. Choose where it goes and press **Move**. It reads **Moving…** while it works. 3. The dialog closes and a message confirms it: "Moved to *project title*". What a move does: - **The entry leaves this project and appears on the other one**, with its status and dates. Its results leave the laurels on this project's page and appear on the other's. - **Several entries all go to the one place you chose.** With **A new project from this submission**, they share one new project rather than getting one each. - **A new project from this submission** makes a project from the festival's copy, filled in the way an entry's first project is. See [Which project it joins](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/saving-a-submission-to-your-account.md#which-project-it-joins). Its title is the submission's title (the first entry's, when you move several), so that is the name in the message. - **A move changes nothing at the festival.** The festival's copy, its record and its judging are exactly as they were. - **The project you moved it out of can disappear.** If FilmScorecard made that project from a festival submission, you have never saved a change on its **Details** tab, never changed anything on its **Page** and never published it, and this was its last entry, it is removed. You are taken to the entry's new project, on its Festivals tab. See [When a project goes away by itself](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/saving-a-submission-to-your-account.md#when-a-project-goes-away-by-itself). If the move cannot be made, the dialog stays open with "That did not move. Try again." When you were moving several, any that had already moved stay moved, and the table shows which. **Cancel** closes the dialog at any time except while a move is under way. ## No festival entries yet A project with no entries shows, in place of the table: > **No festival entries yet** > > Entered with another address? Add the entry with the access code from the > festival's email. with an **Add an entry** button beside it. See [Adding an entry with its access code](#adding-an-entry-with-its-access-code). **Entries that arrive by themselves fill a project by title.** A festival entry joins a project with the same title, the same kind of work and a similar length. If none matches, it gets a new project of its own, so a project you added under a different title stays empty until you move an entry into it or add one with its code. See [Which project it joins](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/saving-a-submission-to-your-account.md#which-project-it-joins). ## The Scorecards tab The project's **Scorecards** tab lists every scorecard the festivals have released for this project's entries, under the line "From the festivals you entered. Only you can see this list." **There is one row per category**, so an entry in two categories has two rows. | Column | What it shows | | --- | --- | | **Scorecard** | The festival's name, which opens your scorecard at that category, then the season, the category and the `SUB-` number. It stays pinned on the left when the table scrolls sideways. | | **Judges** | How many judges filed a scorecard. | | **Score** | The category's score out of 10, such as "8.6 / 10", whether or not you have unlocked it. A locked one adds "Held, unlock from $35.00", the price to unlock that category on its own, or "Held, unlock free" when the festival charges nothing. "No scores" when there is no score to show. | | **Filed** | The day the festival released it. | | **⋯** | **Open scorecard**, which opens it at that category. | **No judge is ever named**, and no score is combined across categories or projects. - **Search**, "Search 4 scorecards", matches the festival, the season, the category and the `SUB-` number. **Esc** or **✕** clears it. When nothing matches: `No scorecard matches "north"`, "Clear the search to see all 4 scorecards." and a **Clear search** button. - **Sorting**: the table starts on **Filed, newest first**. Choose **Scorecard** to sort by festival A to Z, **Judges** for the most judges first, and the same heading again to reverse. **Score** does not sort. - The line under the table counts the rows and names the sort: "4 scorecards. Sorted by filed date, newest first." Before any festival has released one, the tab reads **No scorecards yet.** What a scorecard holds, and unlocking it, is in [Your scorecard](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-scorecard.md). ## Related guides - [Saving a submission to your account](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/saving-a-submission-to-your-account.md): how entries arrive in a project by themselves. - [The bell](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-notifications.md): what festivals are asking for, sending it from your project, scorecards to read, and the news each festival announces. - [Your project's details](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/project-details.md): the Details tab, where the values Copy current details sends are kept. - [The public film page](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/public-page.md): where each entry's announced results appear for visitors. - [Your submission page](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-submission-page.md): the page the entry panel's **Submission page** opens. - [Your scorecard](https://www.filmscorecard.com/help/your-scorecard.md): the page the entry panel's **Scorecard** and the Scorecards tab open.
