For SCREEN FOREVER 40, SPA has introduced a new, streamlined submission process, integrating applications for Matched Market Meetings and the Production Partnerships Forum directly into the SCREEN FOREVER registration system. 

Delegates can submit their projects during registration or return to update their registration at any time prior to the relevant submission deadlines, making it easier to register early and submit your projects at your convenience. 

If you haven’t yet registered, please do so via the SCREEN FOREVER TICKETING page on the website.

To complete your registration, please proceed sequentially through the following four mandatory sections:

1) Begin Registration

2) Important Information

3) Personal Information

4) Professional Information

Upon successfully completing the professional information section, you will be directed to:

5) SPA Connect Project Submissions

Here, you will be prompted to indicate your interest in submitting projects for either the Matched Market Meetings or the Production Partnerships Forum.

By selecting 'Yes', you will be directed to provide details about your project by answering specific questions. You will have the opportunity to submit up to three (3) projects.

If you select ‘No’ to this question, you will skip the Project Submission page and can continue your application.
