Academy of Digital Video Arts/ ADVA AWARD. Is this Real?	Can't Post

My work has been recommended to ADVA- the Academy of Video Art for the ADVA Academy Awards for Excellence.

Before I spend so much money to submit my work, I want to confirm this is not just another festival that get my money and not really look at my work.

I heard there is a lot of festival is just base on who you know not how great your work.

If I do have a great talent, do you know how can I move up my career? Do you have any suggestion?

You can see my work at www.opifilm.com

Thanks
Rosy

The ADVA seems to have just come into existence recently. Everyone's been getting these emails; I suspect they are sent by ADVA itself, and are not true "recommendations".

There are plenty of established award programs and film festivals.

The emails they send once a week appear to be S.P.A.M.
