Plan an FYC Mailing

What is an FYC eblast?

An FYC (For Your Consideration) eblast is an email announcing your film’s viewing availability or screening to an eligible awards audience. Vision helps coordinate the permitted audience, preparation, approval, and delivery.

Email delivery and film hosting are separate services. Already have a viewing link? Share it with us. We also support general guild and industry campaigns.

Your first FYC campaign? Start here.

You don’t need a finished email or know which service to choose. Tell us about your film and your goals, and we’ll explain the next steps.

Plan My First FYC Mailing

Planning an FYC mailing?

Start with your film, your audience, and your dates. We’ll help you work through the mailing requirements and confirm availability before you commit.

Send your brief

Share your film, audience, and preferred date. Not sure where to start? Ask for guidance.

Confirm the details

Confirm audience coverage, fees, materials, viewing links, and any calendar request.

Approve and schedule

Review final copy and links, then confirm your mailing date and materials deadline.

What does one mailing cost, and who can receive it?

Your quote identifies Vision’s send fees and any additional services or rush charges. For AMPAS (Academy) mailings, applicable AMPAS fees are included in the quote and paid through Vision. For other guilds, you generally pay the guild directly in advance, in addition to paying Vision’s service fees. We’ll confirm the payment arrangements for your selected audience before booking. Review published send fees. For Academy FYC film mailings, targeting is limited to eligible voting members who have opted in to the relevant materials. Tell us your category and audience; we’ll confirm permitted coverage.

How soon can we send, and when are materials due?

Choose your preferred date or request the earliest available slot. Availability depends on the audience, campaign requirements, complete materials, and final approval. We’ll confirm the mailing slot and materials deadline with you. Rush service is subject to availability and applicable fees; submitting a brief does not reserve a date.

What copy and screening information should I prepare?

Prepare the film’s official submitted title, category, a straightforward synopsis of up to 300 characters, viewing availability, and any screening date, time/time zone, venue, city/country, and RSVP details. Include an email or phone contact for accessibility requests. Academy FYC mailings use a plain format with a solid background and no images or QR codes. We’ll confirm the current requirements and review your draft before scheduling.

Can Vision help arrange the viewing link?

Tell us where the film is currently available and whether you need viewing-link or hosting help. We’ll review the appropriate destination under the applicable campaign rules. An existing private link is not automatically suitable for every mailing; the film’s member-platform availability can affect what may be sent.

Can we request an Academy FYC Screenings Calendar listing?

Yes—include the request and your screening details in the brief. The Academy’s guidance provides for FYC screening-calendar listings through approved mailing houses for a fee. We’ll confirm the applicable requirements, fees, and submission process for your event. A request does not guarantee acceptance.

This is separate from Vision’s public Awards Calendar, which lists industry dates and planning milestones. A festival’s own promotional mailing also differs from a film campaign mentioning a festival screening; tell us who is commissioning the request.

What submission or eligibility information do you need?

Tell us the film title, category, current submission/eligibility status, and who is authorized to coordinate the campaign. Add a submission reference or confirmation note if available. If you are still waiting or unsure, say so—we’ll identify the supporting information needed before scheduling. The Academy determines eligibility; Vision does not grant it.

Vision is listed in the Academy’s current guidance as an approved mailing house. Campaign rules can change during the season. Review the Academy’s current rules and campaign guidance ↗
