Essential Film Composer Stuff

CineMusic
"Cinemusic is dedicated to film music and the film music enthusiast. We're all about the folks who know the difference between "score" and "soundtrack", the folks who care about the music in previews, who stay during the end credits (if there is score), and who notice when Thomas Newman's style is being ripped-off in a Viagra commercial."

Film Festivals

Duke City Shootout
To quote the venerable Cinemoose: "Aside from a few important screenwriting contests such as the Nicholl Fellowship or the Chesterfield Writers Project, most of the contests out there suck. While there are several contests out there with a large cash prize, their actual significance in the film industry is marginal...That being said, there are a few contests that are worth entering. One of them is the filmmaking festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico known as the Duke City Shootout."

48 Hour Film Challenge
The National Film Challenge is a timed filmmaking competition where filmmaking teams have just one weekend to make a short film!
