Each year, the Asia Pacific Screen Awards invites countries from the region to submit their best films for competition. The selection and submission of these films is facilitated by an Official Submission Organisation in each country or area of the defined Asia Pacific region. This may be a single organisation or a committee comprised of two or more organisations.

Organisations are selected based on mutual aims and representation of the interests of their national film industry. FIAPF-the International Federation of Film Producers Associations endorses the Official Submission Organisations each year. Upon endorsement, APSA and FIAPF formally invite each organisation to participate as an Official Submission Organisation of the Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

Below is a list of the participating Official Submitting Organisations for the 2011 APSAs. Please note, new organisations may be added to the list as their participation is confirmed. Each organisation is eligible to submit a limited number of entries annually and selection and submission timelines may vary between organisations.

We also would like to acknowledge and thank the past Official Submitting Organisations for their contribution to the previous APSAs.
