Must I pay anything to submit my work or for publication?

No. Contributors do not pay anything to submit or be published in Orama. Orama works on the same basis as traditional academic journals.

Will I lose ownership of my work?

No. You will always retain the right to be recognised as creator or author of your work. We work on the same model as academic journal publishers where the author assigns the publisher copyright upon acceptance of the submission.

What do I do if my submission file is too big or doesn’t upload via the submission form?

Please contact editorial@oramafilmjournal.com so that we can find a solution.

Must I be part of a university to submit a film or article?

No. Submissions are accepted from anyone who wishes to submit, including independent creators and researchers. Films and articles will each be assessed according to our guidelines.

Must I be an established or experienced filmmaker in order to submit?

We accept submissions from filmmakers at all stages of their development. We assess each film for its own original merits. We are committed to promoting new and unknown talent in film.

Can I submit a film or paper that has been submitted or published elsewhere?

We accept only original film and article submissions that have not been distributed or published elsewhere. Submissions must not be under review with any other venue while under review at Orama, and until a decision is received. Exceptions to this are films that have previously been shown at film festivals. Please include details of these when submitting.
