You must be registered with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It is necessary to register as a producer on behalf of your film. You also need to declare any conflicts of interest when submitting your work for consideration. There are two types of conflicts: financial and personal. If you have made a previous film that is submitted for consideration then you would need to disclose this information. The AMPAS code of conduct requires you to act in the best interests of the Academy and its members. Finally, you must attend the annual ceremony at which time you will receive your prize.
