About The Contest

The Wyoming Short Film Contest began in 2008. With the Wyoming Film Office providing the $25,000 first place prize, the contest is designed to foster film production in the state, giving filmmakers an opportunity and an incentive to shoot Wyoming.

The short film format allows for all levels of experience and expertise. Student filmmakers as well as professionals should feel comfortable here.

The contest requires all entries to take place in Wyoming, feature Wyoming, or present Wyoming as a major character in the storyline. Films must be 15 minutes or less not including end credits. This state is a beautiful place, and that’s true if you’re a cowboy or a camera operator. We hope you choose to take advantage of the contest, and look forward to all of your entries.
