WRPN Women’s International Film Festival

Officially Selected

SUMMER 2025


Becoming an"Official Selection" means your entry passed through the first judging stage, (DID NOT get rejected) now being able to go in front of the AWARD judges to decide the type of award (s) it will receive, if any.
Your film's name will appear in the Official Selection list here only if you have submitted the entire film into one of the Major Categories. Films submitted for judging in sub-categories will not be listed until they win an award.

Being Officially Selected does not mean your film is scheduled for live screening.

Award email notifications will be sent the week of December 1, 2024 and Best of Festival winners will be invited to have their film showcased at our  May, 2026 event, Rehoboth Beach, DE.
We also might choose a few Best Of Show and Outstanding Excellence  winners to be showcased on WRPN.tv
