War of Films

About War of Films

The War of Films is an online film contest that rewards the most popular film on Film Annex's network with $1000 at the end of every month and the most active voter with $100 (US, Canada and UK) or $25 (other countries) at the end of each day.



Viewers can vote on their most and least favorite films once a day by using the plus (+) and minus (-) symbols on top of the player and support the filmmakers of their choice. The total number of votes will be visible to all users at all times, and the films with the highest number of votes will be featured on Film Annex’s homepage.

We placed a status bar on Film Annex’s homepage, where you will be able to see the top voters and the top films on our network.

You can also embed the War of Films WIDGETS on your website to increase your views and spread the word about the contest!
