Westside Story Newspaper – Online The News of The Empire – Sharing the Quest for Excellence
Inland Empire students can use their creativity to compete for prizes in a film competition. Youth in Riverside and San Bernardino counties can enter Cinema Culturas’ 2023 International Storytelling, Film & Music K12 Student Competition. The theme is “How adversity helps you grow.” The contest aims to “encourage students to thrive by turning challenges into learning experiences.”
Students from kindergarten through 12th grade can submit a short film/story in English or Spanish that explores a science or artistic theme. They can also create original music for their entry.
The winners and finalists will have their work posted online as part of the Cinema Culturas Film Festival in fall. Winning stories will also be screened at a red-carpet reception. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place.
The entry deadline is Tuesday, August 1. For more information, please visit cinemaculturas.com.
