Can I request an extension to submit my project after the official deadline?

The 2025 SXSW Official Extension Request Form allows you to request an extension to submit a project to the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival after our final deadline — Tuesday, October 2, 2024.

We are in the thick of the screening and programming process, so be aware that the longer you wait to submit your project, the fewer available spots in our program. Please keep this in mind as you select your requested extension date.

Completing this form does not guarantee you a deadline extension. You should expect to receive follow-up correspondence from SXSW once we're closer to the October 2 deadline. At that point, we will let you know if your request has been approved or denied and send you information on how to submit.

You should only be requesting an extension if you would like to submit after Tuesday, October 2, 2024.
