Calling All Artists!

All Canyons School District students are invited to design and create the 2025 Canyons District Film Festival poster! The winning poster will be used to publicize the 14th Annual Canyons District Film Festival. Winners may have their work displayed at Canyons School District schools and offices, in the community, on District websites, and on posters, shirts, and other media.

Entries are due April 9, 2024 The winning poster design will be announced at this year’s Film Festival awards night on April 25, 2023, at 6:00 pm, Alta High School.

Students:

This is a wonderful opportunity for students with interest in art and graphic design to show what they can do! Winners' work will be displayed in every building in the Canyons School District as well as multiple social media outlets. For students this can be an opportunity to gain design experience and build their resumes.

Teachers:

Please help us spread the word about this opportunity, and encourage your students to participate. Creating an entry for this category would particularly benefit students who are interested in art and graphic design. Since there is no theme assigned to the Film Festival, you can have your students create posters as part of your classroom curriculum, tying the contest into any lessons you are teaching about various art forms and mediums.
