1 MINUTE FILM CHALLENGE

2019
1 Minute Film Competition Winners:

Samuel Jauch and Max Hancock

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The One Minute Film Competition is back for Winter 2024!

This competition is open to teens in grades 7-12 and is sponsored by the Teen Advisory Board.

This year’s theme is OTHERWORLDLY! Otherworldly is defined by “of, relating to, or resembling that of a world other than the actual world.” It suggests a world that is different from the world that we know. We encourage you to have fun with the theme!

The creator(s) of the top film will receive a $50.00 cash prize.
