IMPORTANT: If you're holding an event immediately following a screening, your Q&A calendar slot must accommodate both the film’s runtime and the event duration. For films over 2.5 hours, please contact the Awards Office before booking any morning or afternoon slots to avoid overlap with other scheduled screenings.

Rules on Holds

Up to 4 consecutive days may be held per title, per city.
No more than 6 individual holds will be accepted for any given time slot.
We will not accept general or TBA holds. All holds require a film or television title.
No more than 30 holds per title will be allowed, even if being held across multiple accounts. Any challenged dates won by others, or unused dates that pass, will not count against this limit.
Studios and networks will be limited to a total of 5 Q&A Calendar accounts (including any agencies or third-party companies holding on their behalf).

Challenging a Date

A company may challenge a hold only if the challenger is ready to book (i.e. venue/talent confirmed).
Each hold ahead of the challenger will be contacted and given 24 hours to either book or release the date.

Booking a Date

You may only book a date if you have talent confirmed and a venue held for that time.
Any date held under a particular title must be booked under that same title. Any request to book under a different title must be approved by the Awards Office.
Cancellations: A company that books a date and then cancels will incur a penalty fee of $1,000.
