Pay It Forward Pledge

This section will be part of your WithABox.com submission; however, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL and your participation in the program has NO BEARING on the judgment of your entry.

"The Steeltown Entertainment Project is a nonprofit organization seeking to bring exposure to the small, yet talented entertainment sector in Southwestern Pennsylvania through the programming of the Film Factory. Through the tireless efforts of our staff, volunteers, sponsors, and judges the Film Factory invests its time and funding into developing filmmakers and artists to bring the voices of this region to the nation. However, all of this would not be possible without donations of both time and money. Because funding is such a challenge, we ask that winners always consider participating in our Pay It Forward Pledge.

By signing below, you agree that in the event your project is sold or optioned due to the direct or indirect promotional efforts of the Film Factory and Steeltown Entertainment Project, 3% of the proceeds from the project will be returned to the Film Factory for the continued investment of filmmakers and filmmaking in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

The Pay It Forward Pledge is completely optional and your participation in the program has no bearing on the judgment of your entry."
