Every year hundreds of independent films go into production bringing to life beautiful stories, characters we fall in love with, and transporting us to so many small corners of the world—places we’ve never heard of and will never see with our own eyes.

Indie film celebrates the human condition, and so we celebrate the medium and its makers. Celebrate with us: help us build a list of The 50 Most Loved Indie Films, and you could win two free passes to this year’s Skyline Indie Film Fest, September 10-13 in beautiful Winchester, Virginia.

There are two ways to participate in building the list (and entering the contest):

1. Submit your favorite films. What makes a list like this great? You. We want to know: what are your most-loved Indie films? Just use this form to submit your favorites—submit as many times as you wish!

2. Vote in August. We’ll hold open voting beginning August 15, 2015. The 50 most voted-for films will appear in a list on this page.

Read, share, and participate. We’ll be blogging about the films. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter, or subscribe to our blog. See a film in the blog that you love? See a film you hate? Post in the comments, share the posts with your friends, and spread the joy of Indie film!

Help us show the world the power of the Indie spirit. Submit your favorite films today. And mark your calendars: voting begins August 15.
