2) Pick-up materials to distribute!

Postcards, flyers and/or window cards (small posters) will be available for pick-up at The Plaza Theatre.

Material pickup dates & submission deadlines for 2026 are TBA

 

3) Drop them off wherever you'd find people who make or love movies. 

Local schools, colleges, and universities. Your favorite bars, coffee shops, and restaurants. Anywhere you work, eat, or play is fair game for the ATLFS Street Team. Use your best judgment and drop them off with care.

4) Picture or it didn't happen.

We need to see your work to count it. Photo quality doesn't matter; as long as we can see the materials in place, you're all set.

5) Track your distribution!

Tracking your distribution is two-fold: after taking a photo, you must submit the image along with location details in order for it to go towards winning an ATLFF ‘26 badge. Each submission can only include one document. You can either submit each image and location detail separately or put images listed with their location details into a single PDF. You must submit your work to the tracking form by March 31st @ 11:59 PM for consideration.

Submit your work to the Street Team Tracker Form here!
