A limited-entry short film contest with a creative challenge.

Anyone in Arizona with a passion for filmmaking is welcome! Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned creator, we invite you to share your vision and be part of our community.

Films must be 5–12 minutes long and shot on the provided Fujifilm GFX Eternal 55 camera. Films must be shot in 4:3 to utilize the full sensor; any aspect ratio is accepted for final delivery. All genres are welcome — just make sure your work is original and follows our community standards.

There is no application fee. If you are selected as a contestant, a fee of $50 is required to secure your spot. This helps us cover the cost of the camera you are being provided, and ensures everyone is committed.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd place films will be selected by a panel of industry and expert judges. Get to know our staff here, or email us here to learn more about being on the judges panel.

There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place films. We are currently working with several amazing potential sponsors, and will be updating the prize listings in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for that!

Once you apply, we'll go through a selection process and pick 10 teams to compete. If you are selected, we'll send you step-by-step instructions and guidelines for the competition. Shoot, edit, and upload your film before the deadline and you're good to go!
