Ohio Shorts 2014 Call for Entries

Submissions are now closed for 2014 and official selections will be announced soon.

The Wexner Center's annual Ohio Shorts showcase provides an opportunity for Ohio's independent media artists to show their work in a theatrical setting before an audience. Works included are selected by a jury of diverse media professionals and artists.

The 2014 Ohio Shorts screening takes place on Saturday, April 26, at 7 PM in the Wexner Center Film/Video Theater. Each person whose work is selected for the showcase will receive two complimentary tickets for the screening. The jury and audience award prizes ($300 and $200, respectively) will be announced at a reception following the screening.
