Any film festival entrants?

[jimstamos]

I am going to enter my documentary into some film festivals.
The site I am going through, withoutabox.com, makes entering festivals easy as you can use their site to enter a number of festivals.
Im not sure about one aspect that asks which DVD you want to submit, region 0 or region 1. which should i put down and whats the difference?
thanks

If you are burning the disc yourself, you're almost undoubtedly making a region 0 (all regions) dvd. Region 1 refers to discs that are restricted to playing only in the USA/Canada.

For a more complete explanation of region coding, see the following:
