The competition is also open to all West Virginia based high school students, including home school students of high school age.
“Last year’s event really showcased the talent we have coming up in our young filmmakers,” said film festival director and WVSU communications instructor Roger Echols. “I can’t wait to see what they come up with this year.”
The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2016, by 5 p.m.
