What is Film Prize Junior?
Inspired by the Louisiana Film Prize, Film Prize Junior offers a project-based learning opportunity for middle and high school students across Louisiana to dive into the world of filmmaking. This film education program and student short film competition encourages educators and students to collaborate on creating, writing, producing, editing, and promoting a short film with guidance and support from our dedicated team members and experienced film mentors.
Participating in Film Prize Junior allows students to develop their creative and technical skills while sharing stories that they want to tell. Film submissions are showcased at our student film festival in the spring. Additionally, schools can compete for substantial rewards, including film equipment, student celebration funds, and cash prizes for educators.

JOIN THE FILMMAKING REVOLUTION!
To get started, educators of 5th – 12th grade students can register their school or community organization and introduce the program to aspiring student filmmakers! From there, the Film Prize Junior team keeps in touch with registrants throughout the filmmaking process to provide educators and their students with reminders, resources, and training every step of the way. No matter what education or resources are available at your school, Film Prize Junior will be there for guidance and support.
