***DISCLAIMER*** This year, Project NEXT and KIND® Snacks are offering two separate short film competitions. When you submit for KIND®, be sure to include the word 'KIND' before your film title. You are able to participate in both competitions, but you must submit two different films.

Denver Film Festival High School Short Film Competition: Project NEXT announces the 3rd annual high school film festival that will coincide with DFF42. Submit your 15 minute short to the Denver Film Festival TODAY! Presented by Liberty Global, High school short-subject films will be judged for inclusion by a panel of industry professionals. Awards will be given for Best Short Film Best Documentary Short, and People's Choice. Spread the word to get your film voted on!

CALL TO ACTION: KIND® Snacks and Denver Film want to see your best 1-2 minute video about your definition of Kindness. What does kindness mean to you? How do you show kindness to others? How are you KIND® yourself? Enter YOUR Kindness video for a chance to win a Mike's Camera Swag Bag, a 42nd Denver Film Festival badge, and get your video on the big screen. 

Submissions for Project NEXT and KIND® Snacks Video Competition are now open and will close on November 3rd. The selected films for both competitions will be announced on November 6th and will screen at the Sie FilmCenter on November 10th. Finalists will be invited to walk the red carpet on Closing Night of the Festival. For any questions please contact Education Manager, Cynthia Valenzuela at cynthia@denverfilm.org.
