Ohio Shorts 2015 Call for Entries

Calling all Ohio film- and video-makers! The Wexner Center is now accepting submissions for the Ohio Shorts 2015 juried short film and video festival, for both the Adult and Youth divisions. Entries will be accepted through Monday, March 30 at 5 PM.

Selected entries in each division will be screened together on Saturday, April 25, beginning at 7 PM in the center’s Film/Video Theater with a reception in the café space afterward. Each person whose work is selected for the showcase will receive two complimentary tickets for the screening and reception.

Both Adult and Youth Division entries will be reviewed by a diverse jury that in the past has included artists, curators, critics, academics, and Wexner Center staff. The jury will give a cash award of $300 to a single work in each division. Each division will also provide an audience choice award of $200, to be determined on the evening of the screening.
