Hi all- I just found a post by Meeting in the Media dated in October, and in March- curious. I am not familiar with the site, but found the post on their blog interesting. There were some words in bold I thought I would address with the following points:

1. noentryfeefestivals.com is not a submission platform.
2. noentryfeefestivals.com uses a simple design template.
3. noentryfeefestivals.com is organized by monthly deadlines.
4. noentryfeefestivals.com supports festivals and artists.
5. noentryfeefestivals.com has a submission form to post opportunities (hint to festivals, screening nights, etc.).
6. noentryfeefestivals.com can be searched by keyword.
7. noentryfeefestivals.com focuses on festivals that have opened their call for entries.
8. noentryfeefestivals.com is free for festivals to be listed on the blog.

I do welcome suggestions for the blog, and hope that if you have a festival, screening, or other no entry fee opportunity that you will visit my submission page to list your call for entry.

Best Regards,

Tracy
