University of Wyoming students will showcase their own short films during a Student Short Film Festival Friday, April 20.

The festival will be in the Wyoming Union Family Room at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, and it will include light appetizers.

Following the screening of the submitted films, there will be an awards showcase and ceremony. Prizes will be awarded to the top three selections. First place will receive a trophy and a $500 B&H gift card; second place will receive a $300 B&H gift card; and third place will receive a $200 B&H gift card.

Last year’s first-place winner was Sam Mallory, for his film, “Chad”; second place went to Andres Cabrales for “Journey”; and the third-place winners were Austin Tarango and Maia Marces for “Green Light.” The first- and third-place winners will return this year with new films.
