Winners will be announced at our Film Festival awards night on April 20, 2017. Detailed information, rules, and helpful tips can be found below and on the pages linked to the right.

The Annual Canyons District Film Festival is an opportunity for students and teachers to show their knowledge, skill, and creativity through the art of filmmaking. This year is our 8th annual festival, and it promises to continue the tradition of student excellence we have seen year after year.

Students and teachers may enter films for competition in five categories: Feature Film, Documentary, Animation, PSA, and Newscast. Students may also submit entries to our Film Festival poster contest. There are four levels of competition: Elementary, Middle, High, and Teacher. Participants are welcome to choose any theme for their films and are welcome to submit films they have created for class projects or other competitions.

Entries are due March 23, 2017. Nominees (the top three films in each category) will be announced on our website the week of April 3, 2017. The Film Festival awards night, where the top films will be announced, will take place on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at the Eastmont Middle School auditorium. Arrive early to enjoy food and take photos. The awards ceremony will begin at 6:00. Nominees, administrators, teachers, friends, families, and anyone in the Canyons School District community are invited to attend.
