Prize Funders $500 minimum

For the first time, HQSFF is seeking underwriters for Special Jury Awards. Funders give us $500 or more, and half goes to the winner of the award. The other half helps pay festival expenses, which are many! We are also seeking to give cash prizes for the more traditional jury awards, e.g., Best Picture, Best Acting, etc. Want to sponsor a prize? You will receive perks same as our General Sponsors. We allow donors to team up and more than one of our current prizes is being underwritten by more than one individual.

Individual Donations

We are delighted to accept donations in any amount. Contact us for instructions.
